Forest Hill 'Block 9' Shiraz 2013
- TASTING NOTE: "Includes 1% cabernet sauvignon, hand-picked, destemmed and crushed, open-fermented, cultured yeast, matured in French oak (35% new) for 18 months. French oak is a major contributor to the bouquet and palate of the wine (more than expected from 35% new), but there is a wealth of red and black cherry and blueberry fruit, and the texture and weight is impeccable, fresh acidity a further boon." 94 Points - Halliday Wine CompanionĀ
