Samuels Gorge 2006 Shiraz

The 2006 Shiraz is one of the greatest wines that I have tried. Justin and the team at Samuels Gorge are not only amazing people but the three reds they produce are a must buy and should have a place in everyone’s cellar. The wine show cases the matrix of fruit flavour they get from targeting specific idiosyncratic vineyards across the Vale. The signature Mulberry and dark berry fruit spectrum is particular evident in this year. A powerful wine with fine but firm tannins, it will evolve beautifully over the next 10 years; it could do with a year to soften initially though. Justin, hat’s off to you, a great wine that we will forever recomend and sadly that every bottle drank means there is one less to buy. Do yourself a favour and try these wines, and if you have a bucket list a visit to Samuels Gorge must be on it.
