A blend of Shiraz and Mataro, 2007 Benno has a medium garnet color and evolving nose of nuts, warm mulberries and black cherry conserve plus nuances of Mediterranean herbs, underbrush and dirt. Full bodied with a medium level of coarse tannins and high acidity, it's just slightly lacking in mid-palate fruit, though the finish is long and earthy. Drink it now to 2015.

The 2005 Shiraz-Mataro is a bit richer and layered. It also has enough underlying structure to evolve for 2-3 years. Drink it from 2012 to 2017. The Murray Street Vineyard wines are made by Andrew Seppelt.No American Importer; www.murraystreet.com.au
