"Remarkably, the 2002 Syrah Brookman Vineyard is even more compelling than the 2003. Still an infant, it exhibits a saturated blue/purple color as well as a marvelous perfume of blueberry and blackberry liqueur intermixed with scents of flowers, graphite, vanilla, coffee, and licorice. It possesses great intensity along with a wealth of fruit and glycerin covering substantial tannin, and a spectacular finish that lasts over a minute. Give it 3-5 more years of bottle age, and enjoy it over the following two decades."

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
