Charles Cimicky - Shiraz Barossa Valley Reserve 2005 (750ml) Willamette VallyCritical Acclaim 95 points Wine Advocate "Remarkably, the 2005 Shiraz Reserve is even better than the Autograph. It spent 14 months in new oak, 60% French and 40% American. It, too, coats the glass with a thick purple film. Purple black, it gives up a splendid perfume of cedar, Asian spices, pepper, violets, bacon, blueberry, and blackberry. On the palate the wine is dense and plush, admirably combining elegance and power. There are gobs of sweet blue
one of the most incredible growing seasons that I have ever experienced
and juicy light grapes are given an extra pop from the carbonation
opening up to notes of marzipan and pastry
Unusual for the area
fruity expression of citrus zest
lemon caper chicken or a salad of mixed greens and roasted vegetables
Project dedicated to the development of different Pinot Noir plot
while the Colorino lends balsamic overtones
The wine is fresh
The nose is enticing with notes of blackberry
Grown on 30-years old parcels of clay and limestone
the growth cycle of the vine
