Heady and floral, this deep, dark shiraz of medium to fullish weight reveals spicy, peppery aromas of intense, pastille-like black, red and blue fruits backed by cedary oak. It's soft, round and plump, with a core of silky fruit underpinned by a fine, drying mineral spine that carries the palate to a long, spicy finish of red licorice, cola and mineral. There's a lot of very classy shiraz here for its price. And in 2-3 years there will be even more!

Leigh Clarnette is an experienced hand at winemaking with a long history in and affection for the wines of western Victoria. For his sins, his time at Roseworthy College (studying winemaking) coincided with mine. His wines are typically made from small individual vineyards whose choice of variety have been strongly influenced by site and aspect. The cornerstone feature of Leigh's modern wines are their elegance, depth of varietal expression, plus a style trait that is more European than so-called traditional Australian. Typically, they deliver in terms of flavour and value.
