Whistling Eagle Eagles Blood Shiraz 2007

Whistling Eagle Eagles Blood Shiraz 2007 is a full-bodied Australian Shiraz from Heathcote, grown on ancient Cambrian soils and crafted by winemaker Ian Rathjen. Fermented traditionally with minimal intervention, the 2007 vintage was matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which were new. In the glass it shows a deep purple-black hue with aromas of ripe blackberry, dark plum, black cherry, liquorice, vanillin cedar, fennel and peppered earth. The palate is rich and textured, with opulent dark fruit, mocha, warm spice and velvety tannins giving a long, refined finish.
