Paringa Estate Shiraz 1997
Very polished, tight and refined, by far the best Paringa Shiraz since the remarkable 1993 edition. Deep, dark, complex and spicy wild berry/cassis fruit match pronounced mocha barrel ferment characters and scents of spicy cinnamon, cloves, white and black pepper. Long, elegant and supple, with superbly tight-knit tannins.

Paringa Estate
Paringa Estate has made a name for its deeply ripened, coloured, dark-fruited and spicy Pinot Noir, and its fragrant and peppery Shiraz, both of which have traditionally been given generous treatment in new oak. There has been a steady movement in style at Paringa across both reds and whites towards a more integrated fusion of fruit, tannin and oak.
