St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2008

Many wine legends have had their imprint on the cellar and have helped shape the modern St Hallett, but none more critical than Stuart Blackwell. Stuart started at St Hallett in 1972 and ensuring integrity and a steadfast commitment to the region, has steered St Hallett to become a jewel in the crown of the Barossa. The Blackwell Shiraz was first released in 1994, in Stuart’s honour and his tireless contribution to the St Hallett story.

Strong crimson-purple; a very rich, traditional full-bodied Barossa Valley shiraz, with luscious black fruits on the bouquet, augmented there as well as on the palate by 20 months in American oak; the texture is velvety, the tannins ripe. A new type of screwcap with a silicone interior. James Halliday 94 Points"
