Wine Profile

96 Robert Parker Wine Advocate+

This outstanding trio of McLaren Vale reds performed beautifully. One of South Australia’s finest efforts is Oliverhill’s 2005 Shiraz Jimmy Section. Aged in 100% French oak (33% new) for 17 months, it is an unbelievably dense wine boasting an exquisite perfume of spring flowers, blackberry and blueberry jam, smoky pain grille, and graphite. Huge intensity, full body, and stunning concentration, richness, and length suggest this spectacular wine will age effortlessly for 10-15+ years.

Drinking Window: 2006 - 2021

The Grape/Blend

Shiraz/Syrah

Black pepper, plum, dark chocolate, full color and tanninsThis grape is known as Syrah in northern Rhône, France and as Shiraz when grown in Australia. No matter what you call it, there is a Syrah or Shiraz for every palate and every occasion.This bold grape produces a range of powerful and smooth wines. The wines are ripe and indulgent, but leave you with its distinctive relish and go well with red meat.Whereas the Syrah/Shiraz grown in warmer conditions in general is sweeter and riper, wines from cooler areas appear aromatic, spicy and somewhat restrained.Choose a bottle from Barossa in Sout

The Region

McLaren Vale

Overall, the climate is Mediterranean, with fresh sea breezes helping to moderate temperatures during the growing season. Chilly winds from the hills also cool the grapes on specific vineyard sites, helping to retain acidity and structure. The summers and most of the autumn season are dry, which keeps vine diseases at bay. McLaren Vale vineyards also boast a wide range of soil types, with localized specialties.The region acquired its GI (Geographical Indication) status in 1997, but wine-growing traditions here are amongst the oldest in the country. Pioneers such as Thomas Hardy and John Reynel...
