Scotchmans Hill Shiraz 2003
Meaty, spicy, earthy and reductive, with aromas of dark plums, blackberries and sweet vanilla oak over smoky charcuterie-like complexity. Vibrant and juicy, the moderately deep palate delivers a vibrant and smooth expression of small berries, blood plums and leathery influences supported by cedar/vanilla oak and tightly knit, drying tannins. Finishes with spice and savoury influences.

Winery
Scotchmans Hill
Scotchmans Hill is a well-known small winery business located near Geelong, on Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay. The extended drought last decade didn't made viticulture easy for several years, but Scotchmans Hill continues to make a complex and rustic series of wine that perhaps have more in common with Worlds Old than New. Some current releases are more edgy and rustic than ever before, and some of the whites err on the side of more funkiness than fruit. The intriguing 2010 Sutton Vineyard Chardonnay shows that the balance can be achieved.
