BlackJack Shiraz 2005
Smoky aromas of dark chocolate, dark plums, blackberries and cedary oak precede a sweetly oaked and slightly jammy, juicy palate. Backed by sweet coconut ice-like oak, its approachable palate of confiture-like of raspberry, cassis and blackberry flavour is framed by smooth, silky tannins, finishing long and minty. It would rate more highly if not for a medicinal oak-derived aspect.

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.
