St Hallett Old Block Shiraz
Barossa Valley
Price Range at Release: $100-$199
Vintage: 2019
Alc %: 14.5
$ Rel: 169
Powerfully ripened, chocolatey and forward, this sumptuous and assertively oaked shiraz is just too forward and attenuated for a higher rating. Typical of this vintage, it promises much but lacks the drive and length for top-end quality.

Winery
St Hallett
Recently acquired by Accolade Wines, St Hallett is a Barossa shiraz specialist. Its Faith is typically vibrant, spicy and silky-smooth, while the Blackwell has more richness, structure and expression. A Barossa benchmark responsible for two excellent releases from 2010 and 2012, the Old Block tops them both for depth, structure and longevity. Recent vintages have also seen a significant improvement in the Eden Valley Riesling, which produced rather a different, more early-maturing style from 2014.
