The 2005 Basket Pressed Shiraz was sourced from dry-grown vines yielding a tiny 1.6 tons of fruit per acre. It was then aged for 24 months in French and American oak hogsheads. Dark ruby colored, it exhibits an enticing perfume of smoke, meat, game, and blueberry. On the palate it has an elegant personality with plenty of savory, spicy black fruit, excellent integration, and several years of potential evolution. It will be at its best from 2011 to 2020. Skillogalee is a small, family-owned winery that began in 1976. The property sits at 480 meters, one of the highest vineyards in South Australia.Importer: CLD Imports, Barrington, IL; tel.
