"Plump and ripe, with juicy plum and blackberry flavors and hints of cream and vanilla adding to the richness, finishing with fine-grained tannins."

“The deep ruby/purple-hued, rich, full 2003 Shiraz Ascent reveals chocolate, scorched earth, blackberry, licorice, and pepper characteristics. It is a dense, rich, full effort both aromatically and flavor-wise. It will keep for 7-8 years.” |

"Rich and bracingly tart, with ripe blackberry and spice flavors that persist on the fine-grained finish. Needs food to balance the acidity. Drink now through 2010." |

The new colony of Australia was not having much luck producing wine of merit - not until eccentric bushman Gregory Blaxland tried his hand. Wine seemed a novel challenge for the adventurer, who together with Wentworth & Lawson had pioneered the first track across Australia's "impenetrable" Blue Mountains. By 1922 Blaxland was shipping barrels to overseas markets where his red wine was awarded numerous commendations. Blaxland had demonstrated that with time and care, local wine could become a valuable article. Australia's gradual ascent towards the heights of the winemaking world had begun. |
