RATINGS

94James Suckling

...very composed and nicely layered rendition of this top-end shiraz with aromas of cocoa, dark plums, blackberries, cinnamon, licorice and dark cherries. The palate has a very impressive build of ripe dark-fruit and chocolate flavors. Layered and expansive, it swells impressively through the finish. Smoothly resolved and gently spicy.

92+ The Wine Advocate

...dense and concentrated on the palate. Notes of charred wood join plums, raspberries and black olives in this full-bodied effort.

91Wine Spectator

Powerful, with concentrated juicy cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry flavors at the core amid tobacco notes and dusty tannins, plus a thread of crushed rock, fresh herb, and fresh, earthy loaminess. Plenty of harmony on the finish, where the tannins firm up.

91Wine Enthusiast

...notes of plums, blackberries, peppery, earthy spices and a little well-placed oak lead the way. The distinction is in the palate, where muscular, highly textural, rustic tannins are balanced by bright, juicy fruit.

PRODUCER

d'Arenberg

Located in the McLaren Vale in South Australia, d’Arenberg has existed in one form or another since 1912, when Joseph Osborn purchased nearly 75 acres of vineyards. Four generations later the winery is still owned by the Osborn family, now headed by Chester d’Arenberg Osborn. The d’Arenberg wines were winning awards as early as the late 1960s, and today they are among Australia’s most admired and award-winning wines. Although the estate makes a variety of red and white wines, its signature wines are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvedre blends. The Dead Arm, a 100% Shiraz, is one of d’Arenberg’s most admired wines. Its unusual name comes from a fungus disease that affects vineyards and results in a “dead arm” on the vine, which means extremely concentrated grapes are produced on the unaffected side of the vine. Also noteworthy is d’Arenberg’s The Coppermine Road 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

REGION

Australia, South Australia, McLaren Vale

South Australia is the nation’s most important wine region. South Australia is to Australia what California is to the U.S. About half of Australia’s wine comes from South Australia and many of the country’s most acclaimed producers are there. Wineries based in South Australia include Penfolds Grange, Torbreck, Amon Ra, Henschke and Jacob’s Creek. The prestigious Barossa Valley is located in South Australia, and is often compared to Napa Valley because it is gorgeous topography covered in grape vines. First farmed by 19th century German-speakers who immigrated from what is now Poland, the Barossa Valley is the crown jewel of the region. South Australia has widely varying climates, from very hot, dry areas to cooler, high altitude areas. There are more than 150,000 acres of vineyards in South Australia, with more being planted each month. Shiraz is king, though the region also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvedre, Chardonnay and Semillon.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
