The Lane Vineyard 2007 Estate Grown Shiraz Viognier

Varieties: Shiraz Viognier
Region/G.I.: Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills
Colour: Deep red
Alcohol: ~13%
Bouquet: Distinct ripe plum and white pepper
Flavour: The rich, ripe plum is well integrated with lovely oaky flavours and a savoury touch of cinnamon. No real tannins but a lot to taste.
Points: 86 (3+7+11+8+7+50)
Notes: A very nice wine which I think rated well against the other wines tasted. The only Shiraz tasted to have white pepper flavours. UK importers agree :-). This is probably about $25 ~500 Kc from the cellar door.
