Seraphim Shiraz 2009

Coming from a small winery with an output of only approximately 250 cases a year, the wines are made by the passionate Sam Scarpari.

Being such a small operation, he doesn't have all the bells and whistles at his disposal, yet he produces an acceptable wine that is well priced.

This Shiraz is made with fruit from Goulburn Valley in Victoria. Good colour, gravelly and earthy characters are unmistakable, but hovering in the background is a good dash of savory spice and good red berry fruit.

A medium bodied Shiraz, there is also a distinct smokey element present. To me this was not offensive and adds to the character of the wine and is a direct result of the older American and French (minimum 5 years) oak used. The alcohol is high (14.9%) but doesn't intrude.

BBQ ribs and this would be best friends.

Only available online. Another reason to support small business.
