Craiglee Shiraz 2001
Moderately firm, but restrained cellar style of shiraz with a delicate minty/menthol and peppery aroma of small red and black berries and cherries, backed by cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon with some restrained cedar/vanilla oak. Long, fine and tightly focused, its restrained and supple palate reveals some intense spicy berry fruit over lightly herbal and sappy influences, building in the mouth to a firm finish of black fruit, clove and fennel.

Winery
Craiglee
Craiglee is a tiny vineyard sited on rolling hills and pasture country on the edge of Sunbury. It’s an historic property, with an ancient gravity-fed bluestone winery and cellars that could easily be deployed again if a posse of health bureaucrats suddenly saw the light. Its vineyard is principally planted to shiraz, traditionally making a heady, spicy wine of peppery style and rare elegance. The 2010 Shiraz continues to be one of my favourite Australian wines. Unusually for such a small maker, Craiglee also keeps good stocks of back vintage releases, for which it asks very reasonable prices.
