Coldstream Hills Reserve Shiraz 2012

Medium to full-bodied, the finest shiraz yet made by this maker marries meaty evolution of flavour with a deep core of pure, vibrant fruit. Deep aromas of blackberries and dark plums underpin complex, funky notes of animal hide, polished leather and wet wool. Its smooth, supple palate marries intense fruitfulness with gamey, cedary oak influences, pliant fine tannins and a lingering spiciness. Despite its complex development, it has a long cellaring future.

Coldstream Hills
A world class cool climate producer, Coldstream Hills was founded by wine writer James Halliday, who retains an association with this brand that now fits so neatly into Treasury Wine Estates' extensive folio. By any measure it is now a celebrated brand and one of true international standard, releasing wines of seamless balance and harmony. Now having reached its 30th anniversary, it's perhaps time it was given the credit it's due. Winemaker Andrew Fleming now has a green light to explore individual sites, as witnessed by the steadily increasing number of single vineyard wines under this label. Coldstream Hills has the luxury of only releasing Reserve level and single site wines when quality commands it, so is today one of the most dependable makers of Yarra Valley wine with a distinctive smooth, creamy and generously flavoured house style.
