Barossa Valley wine is definitely the most famed and popular of all the Australian reds.
Wines of Australia tend to be bold, flavorful and fruit-forward, and no where is this more evident than sunny Barossa where juicy, spice-driven Shiraz reigns king, produced at almost all of the top wineries. Barossa Valley is also becoming increasingly recognized for their Cabernet and red blends featuring Grenache and Mourvedre. White wine is not as common, but many of the richest, full-bodied Semillons are produced here.
SP9696 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 30, 2019 Offers a lush, juicy mix of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry flavors that appears seamless, integrating with notes of amaretto, clove and lavender. Plush, juicy and very generous on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2034. 1,156 cases imported.JS9696 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 6, 2019 Stunning blueberries and mulberries here with a wealth of baking spices and red berries, as well as tarry notes and blackberries. It is all here. The palate has a super plush, rich and quite compressed tannin feel. Some firm and powerful moments, as the palate builds with plentiful spiced summer berries. Red plums and blackberries to close. Try from 2025.RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 8th Aug 2019 Red raspberries abound on the nose of the 2017 RWT Shiraz, which — as usual — is all Barossa fruit aged in French oak (70% new). It’s full-bodied and velvety, with appealing notes of dried spices, beef and plenty of red fruit. There’s a cedary veneer to this vintage, which looks as if it will need a couple of years to come together, then drink well for up to two decades.WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - February 1, 2020 Peter Gago, Penfolds’ Chief Winemaker, worked closely with John Duval in the 1990s on the development of RWT, their red wine trial using Grange-level fruit aged in French oak rather than American. The aging regime brings a luscious texture and caramel scent to this wine, contrasted by the black olive and dark blueberry savor of the fruit. The tannins last in black and green peppercorn spice, already bold and delicious with air, suited to long evolution in the cellar.
WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 6/1/2016 This international venture based out of the former Nepenthe winery in the Adelaide Hills sources fruit from a number of vineyards in South Australia. This bottling is light on its feet for its 15% stated abv, showcasing fresh cherry fruit, gentle herbal notes and silky tannins. Drink now–2022.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Jun 2015 Pale garnet with a hint of purple, the 2013 Thorny Devil Grenache offers a tantalizing nose of kirsch, red plum preserves and raspberry coulis with nuances of baking spices and lavender. Unashamedly full, rich and packed with red berry and spice flavors, it has lovely silky tannins and great freshness throughout the long finish.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Mar 31, 2016 Vivid and juicy, offering a mouthful of currant, dried cherry and red raspberry flavors that are bold and bright, with a hint of orange peel and black tea on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 200 cases imported.
RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 26th Feb 2021 Made in the same full-on style that proprietor Bruno Tait has been pursuing since its first vintage in 2001, Tait’s 2017 The Ball Buster Proprietary Red is a blend of 77% Shiraz, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. Mint and baking spices lead the way, backed by a big mouthful of blackberries and black cherries. Full-bodied yet supple, it’s spicy and rich, with lingering notes of mixed berries and spice on the finish. Despite weighing in at 15.9% alcohol on the label, it doesn’t seem hot or overripe — an achievement in itself, but past vertical tastings suggest that this wine can develop nicely for a decade or more.
WE8787 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2020 Despite being a near even split of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre, it’s the former that shines, billowing notes of flowers, tangy raspberries and black cherries followed by something meaty, savory and spicy and towing heavy-set cola scented oak. The palate feels a little overworked, lacking some freshness — the mouthfeel is rich and broad with ripe red and black fruit, chunky, savory tannins and oak, but it’s saved at the last minute by an appealing lift of tangy fruit.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 27th Feb 2013 Pale brown in color and made from Muscat Petite Grain grapes, the NV The Muscat has a really grapey and raisin nose underscored by spices and a touch of roses. Very sweet in the mouth it retains crisp acid to lift the concentrated, liquid raisin flavors. Nicely balanced, it finishes long. Drink it now.SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 31, 2005 Sweet, dense and spicy, with toffee, molasses and prune flavors that linger on the rich finish. Drink now.
RP9898 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 1st Oct 2004 The light amber-hued, unctuously-textured non-vintage The Tokay reveals a similar flavor profile to the Muscat, with perhaps more balsamic, maple syrup, and Asian spice-like characteristics. It is quite spectacular, and very sweet.SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2005 Sweet, but it stops short of syrupy, with a lovely caramel and brewed tea quality that lingers, along with a touch of pineapple and floral notes. Drink now.
WE9797 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 10/1/2016 RunRig is always complex, and the 2012 doesn’t disappoint in that regard, mixing bacony-meaty notes with hints of black olives and ripe plums. The tannins are supremely supple, but the acids are crisp, resulting in a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2030.SP9595 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 30, 2015 Big, broad and generous, this is a towering presence, layering sharply focused blackberry, dark plum, cherry and exotic spice flavors atop polished tannins. Has tremendous power and persistence. Shiraz and Viognier. Drink now through 2030. 450 cases made.VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2016 Bright purple. Smoke- and spice-accented black and blue fruits, vanilla, incense and potpourri on the deeply perfumed nose. Plush, seamless and broad, offering palate-staining blueberry, boysenberry and fruitcake flavors and a repeating vanilla quality. Decidedly rich but graceful as well, showing surprising litheness and cut thanks to juicy acidity. Displays superb energy and clarity on the strikingly persistent, fruit-driven finish, which is framed and firmed by dusty, slow-building tannins. With a bit more time in bottle to stretch out, this extremely young wine may yet match the superb 2010 in quality.
SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jan 31, 2002 Amber in color, sweet but nut unctuous, this has vibrant almond, apricot and spice aromas and flavors, and echoes rich notes of cherry and orange peel as well. Drink now.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2016 The NV Museum Reserve Antique Tawny is pale amber/tawny in color and seriously nutty with a walnut and Christmas cake-laced nose; spirituous notes of brandy waft alongside caramel, treacle and earth. Rich, concentrated and with good length, this wine is sweet and packed with flavor.WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 2/1/2011 A pale tawny in color, this complex sweet wine features note of honey, fig and citrus. It’s silky in texture, even if the alcohol does show through a bit on the finish.
