Bremerton Selkirk Shiraz 2012
Punchy, faintly earthy aromas of dark plums, cassis, blackberries and blueberries are handsomely backed by mocha/chocolate oak. ItÕs smooth and polished, long and juicy, with deeply ripened but not overcooked fruit rather awestruck by powerful oak-derived mocha and caramel influences and supported by firm, grainy tannins. Just too much oak Ð otherwise rather appealing.

Winery
Bremerton
Bremerton is a maker of very ripe, intensely fruited, generously oaked and affordable red wines suited to immediate enjoyment. Recent years have seen a pleasing refinement, as the wines now appear more elegant and less chunky, with an improved sense of balance and elegance, but without compromising an iota of flavour. As they become more elegant, they're able to cellar for longer. Bremerton is refocusing its white wine endeavours towards Italian varieties.
