Brokenwood Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2001
Jeremy’s score 93/100Elegant, silky and fruit-driven shiraz with a fragrant spicy bouquet of raspberries, cherries and red plums supported by slightly polished cedar/vanilla oak. Very smooth, soft and generous, its sumptuous expression of intense black and red berry/plum flavours almost borders on jamminess, but is wrapped around a supple spine of fine-grained velvet-like tannins. Very modern and stylish.

Brokenwood Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2002
Jeremy’s score 94/100Very smart, stylish and fully ripened modern impression of McLaren Vale shiraz with a vibrant aroma of cranberries, red cherries and plums over meaty farm floor undertones, chocolate/vanilla/coconut oak and suggestions of menthol and mint. Smooth, long and luscious, its vibrant, spicy flavours of cassis, dark plums and sour cherries are enhanced by its reductive, charcuterie-like complexity and framed by the finest of tannins. A fraction spirity, but neither overripe nor porty.

Brokenwood Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2003
Jeremy’s score 93/100Deeply flavoured and faultless, this stylish modern McLaren Vale shiraz marries dark and slightly treacle-like fruit with smoked oyster-like oak and velvet tannins. Its spicy fragrance of sour cherries, dark plums, cassis and smoky vanilla oak reveals undertones of bitumen and cloves, while its moderately full palate is smooth and velvet-fine. Sumptuous, sour-edged and concentrated, it finishes with a lingering core of fruit and dark olives.

Brokenwood Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2005
Jeremy’s score 91/100A smooth, polished shiraz whose intense, brambly flavours of raspberries, redcurrants, cherries and plums are backed by meaty, spicy complexity and sweet vanilla/cedar oak. Its earthy, floral bouquet has a ripe, jammy intensity, with undertones of mint and cranberry. Slightly confectionery and darker-fruited, its supple, fine-grained palate finishes long and persistent, with lingering notes of five spice and licorice.

Brokenwood Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2006
Jeremy’s score 94/100Elegant, restrained and medium in weight, itÕs dark, pristine and slightly minty. Smoky aromas of dark berries, plums and dark chocolate with undertones of coffee ground and briar are lifted by a scent of violets. ItÕs smooth and supple, with a sweet and penetrative presence of dark berries, cherries and plums supported by fine, silky tannins and finishing with suggestions of kirsch and mineral.

Brokenwood Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2007
Jeremy’s score 95/100A McLaren Vale charmer, with elegance, balance and focus, plus rustic meatiness and richness. Dusty, spicy and exotically perfumed notes of blackberries, redcurrants, briar and white pepper overlie nuances of blueberries, dark plums and dark chocolates, backed by a whiff of clove and cinnamon. Its deep, long and meaty palate of evenly ripened fruit is supported by pliant, fine-grained tannin, finishing with lingering notes of cassis, licorice, mint and menthol.
