Magnum. Pungent nose reminiscent of gunpowder. Sweet, salty, thick and decidedly medicinal – in a most attractive way. Elderberry compote on the palate. Very rich and convincing. (JR)

Production: 10,960 cases of 6 Blend: 90% Shiraz/10% Cabernet Sauvignon A youthful opaque purple color and a tight but promising nose of jammy cassis with a touch of prunes and smoky oak, are followed by a backward, full-bodied, typical Grange that requires 5-6 more years of cellaring. This huge, lavishly-oaked, unevolved wine is an outstanding effort with 20 years of aging potential. Note: The production figures shown are for twelve bottle cases unless otherwise noted.

A light, elegant style of Grange made with a blend of 90% Shiraz and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a deep ruby/purple color and a spicy, peppery nose with some new oak, black cherry, and blackberry flavors. The wine shows some dry tannin in the finish that may ultimately prove worrisome given the less-than-massive style of this vintage. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to like in this wine, which is very pure, ripe, and medium to full-bodied. Robert Parker, Feb 2002
