The2000 Shiraz Estate possesses both elegance and power. Sweet blackberry fruit intermixed with loamy, earthy notes, and hints of blueberries and oak can be detected in this medium to full-bodied, dense, long Shiraz. Cool-climate characteristics are obvious in its acid profile, but this wine has the flesh and fruit necessary to cover its structural components. Enjoy it over the next decade. Plantagenet is the first winery to produce commercial wines in western Australia's Mount Barker viticultural region. The micro-climate is considered to be even cooler than that of its neighbor, Margaret River. Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689
