Cheviot Bridge Yea Valley Shiraz 2001

Cheviot Bridge Yea Valley Shiraz 2001"This is a baby that shows the high potential of this new region. The nose is all vanilla and raw plum, but full of appeal. It has excellent depth and intensity of fruit. A wine with a future." Epicure Uncorked "The Cheviot Bridge Yea Valley 2001 Shiraz is made from fruit selected from the Jenbel vineyard at Murrindindi and Bill Gurry's Larnoo Vinyard just north of Yea. The Jenbel component always displays a spice plum aroma and intense fruit flavour.

It's a wine that creeps up on you - I thought maybe it was a touch lacking at first but the more and longer I sat with it

1996 and 2002 and will have the ability to drink young or be cellared into the long term (20 years +)

"Firmly-structured pinot noir with concentrated plum

It is soft

so often likened to Chateau Margaux

not only among the great wines of Australia

" Alfio stated

One thing the 2009 vintage shows in particular is that it continues to resemble the Polish Hill more than ever before

it was very cold and a very long season so the vines were brighter but they had depth as well and a lot of fruit expressions

This would be excellent with appetisers

Geoffroy felt a strong attraction back to his roots

soft and inviting fruit
