St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2006
An elegant, supple and polished shiraz whose meaty, mocha-like bouquet of dark plums and blackberries, cloves and cinnamon is lifted by a whiff of white pepper. Medium in weight, its smooth, brightly lit palate of berry/plum fruit and lightly toasty vanilla oak is underpinned by fine, dusty and grainy tannins, finishing fresh and lively.

Winery
St Hallett
Recently acquired by Accolade Wines, St Hallett is a Barossa shiraz specialist. Its Faith is typically vibrant, spicy and silky-smooth, while the Blackwell has more richness, structure and expression. A Barossa benchmark responsible for two excellent releases from 2010 and 2012, the Old Block tops them both for depth, structure and longevity. Recent vintages have also seen a significant improvement in the Eden Valley Riesling, which produced rather a different, more early-maturing style from 2014.
