WE 91 “Complex and textured well beyond what the modest price point would suggest, this is a full-on Shiraz, loaded with plum and black cherry fruit, and with enough tar, coffee and olive to retain your interest sip after sip. It’s warm and velvety on the finish.”

Tanzer 93 “Inky ruby. Dark berries, iron, Asian spices and cracked pepper on the nose. Silky in texture, offering sweet blackcurrant and blueberry flavors and supple tannins. Turns livelier with air, taking a turn to zestier red fruits while retaining power. Strikingly pure and juicy, with excellent finishing clarity and a strong echo of raspberry fruit.”
Parker 93 “The purple-colored 2007 Entity Shiraz spent 17 months in 30% new French oak, the balance in seasoned French and American oak. It displays an alluring nose of wood smoke, game, meat blood, Asian spices, and blueberry. Ripe and sweetly-fruited, this plush effort conceals enough structure to evolve for another 2-3 years. Drink this classy offering from 2012 to 2022.”

John Duval was the principal winemaker at Penfolds Grange from 1986 to 2002.  During that time he won Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition and saw Penfolds Grange named Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator.  In 2003 he started his own label.

The summer was torrid in Barossa in 2007.  So, John Duval just took a page from his 16 years with the Penfolds Grange, and went to his Rolodex.  Duval selected a handful of old vine Barossa Shiraz, each with sufficient root penetration to find water despite the arid heat.  The result is a Duval masterwork, a Shiraz that received more, and more consistent journalistic praise than any similarly priced Shiraz in recent history.

Tanzer 91 “Glass-staining ruby. Crushed blackberry, blueberry, spicecake and licorice on the slightly medicinal nose. Dense, juicy and sweet, with impressively fresh black raspberry and cherry-cola flavor. Finishes very long, with silky tannins and impressive mineral snap.”
WS 91 “On the tart side, with bright berry and pomegranate flavors that zing across fine tannins and linger on the lively finish, hinting at tea at the end.  Drink now through 2017.”

Tanzer 93 “Ruby-red. Energetic red and dark berry, floral and mineral scents along with a hint of spun sugar. Lively, sharply focused black raspberry and cherry preserve flavors are surprisingly weightless, with back-end mineral bite adding energy. A vibrant, deeply flavored shiraz that’s very inviting right now but has the balance to age.”
