Scotchmans Hill Shiraz 2012
A delicious, flavoursome and vibrant young shiraz whose deep, briary bouquet of blackberries, dark plums and fresh cedar/vanilla oak are backed by sneezy scents of black pepper, suede leather and earthy, floral notes. Satiny smooth, its long and vibrant palate of pastille-like cassis, blackberry, dark plum and cherry flavours extends over fine, polished tannins towards a lingering, savoury finish laced with nuances of fennel and clove.

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.
