Sons of Eden Zephyrus Shiraz 2017
Fruit from eight vineyards across the Barossa and Eden valleys, anywhere from 10-60% whole bunches depending on the batch, 3 weeks on skins and all French oak, 45% new. The wine stands out. Spice, fruit, pepper and wood smoke flavours explode onto the palate and ramp the seduction from there. It's both supple and fresh, but the fruit power is obvious. In short, it's really good.

Sons of Eden Zephyrus Shiraz 2017
A very approachable and plush array of blackberries, chocolate and some spice also in the mix here. This has a wealth of dark plum and berry fruit on offer. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Sons of Eden Zephyrus Shiraz 2017
Lovely rounded quality to the fruit, and good oak integration. Rich and balanced, with an earthy minerality running through.
