BlackJack Shiraz 2003
Floral aromas of cassis, mulberries and plums are both minty and lightly stewy, with undertones of prunes and currants. Sweet toasty chocolate-like oak adds to the wine’s richness and texture, slightly smoothing over some slightly meaty and rather cooked fruit. Soft and supple, finishing fractionally dilute.

BlackJack
Named after an American sailor who jumped ship and found his way to the Castlemaine goldfields in the 1850s, BlackJack has developed an enviable reputation for its honest, juicy and flavoursome red wines, all of which are typically approachable and affordable. There's an elegance and charm about the 2014 collection, especially the two leading shirazes. The releases over the last three years, each of which come from significantly different seasons, show that the BlackJack team has become particularly adept at crafting wines of more restraint and finesse than one would typically expect from a warm region, regularly delivering surprising subtlety and perfume.
