Even and tangy, the quite dry, tart fruit sports white-pepper and tarragon accents in noted Rhone winemaker Michel Chapoutier’s Australian project. Crisp and high in acidity, this is slightly atypical but attractive Shiraz from down under, with a lighter, almost claret-like weight and sour-cherry, tobacco-tinged finish.——W.E.(11/1/2001)—— 88
