Note di degustazione
Made all from press wine and then matured for 12 months in new American casks, the 2006 Tatiarra Shiraz Pressings Caravan of Dreams sports bright, very ripe aromatics of sweet black cherries, bakers chocolate, lead pencil, roasted herbs, meat juice, and toasted and slightly exotic spices on the nose. This is followed by a full bodied, powerful wine that stays light and balanced on the palate, showing ripe, savory styled fruit, good acids, and a juicy, chewy, classically styled finish. There’s still some vanilla bean and wood characteristics showing, and while the level of ripeness gives me pause, I like the feel and underlying structure of this on the palate. It should continue to evolve positively for 2-4 years, and drink well through 2020.

The 2006 Pressings Shiraz Caravan of Dreams was aged for 18 months in new American oak. It offers an expressive nose of cedar, spice box, pencil lead, game, and blueberry compote. Dense, full-bodied, and structured on the palate, it has a big core of concentrated, savory blue and black fruit, with pepper and chocolate notes making an appearance. Give it 6-8 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2015 to 2030. The Tatiarra wines, from the up and coming Heathcote GI, are made by Ben Riggs.

Glass-staining ruby. Fresh black raspberry, candied cherry, cinnamon, cola and clove on the nose. The palate displays darker berries and plum but not at the expense of freshness or clarity. Gains sweetness with air, picking up anise and cedary qualities on the finish. Very elegantly styled shiraz.
