Dark purple, almost impenetrable. Black fruits abound. Dark plums and blackberry notes intermingle with anise and fresh spice. On the palate this wine is bright and juicy with a wonderfully rich mid-palate that maintains balance and finishes with texture. Flavors of dried spice and dark berry fruits add freshness and dimension.

This has deep, rich aromas and flavors of blackberries and ripe dark plums. It delivers in a pure and supple mode and carries plenty of weight into the soft, fleshy and drinkable finish. Drink over the next five years. Screw cap.

All Shiraz, all from the Ebenezer section of the northern Barossa, the 2018 Bishop Shiraz is a super value in the context of Barossa, and Australian Shiraz in general. Matured in only 5% new oak hogsheads, it delivers bountiful cherry and raspberry fruit, accented by hints of mocha and cola. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and juicy, fruity and lush, but reined in by firm, savory tannins on the long, mouthwatering finish. It should drink well for up to a decade.
