"This release of St Hallett’s renowned Blackwell Shiraz is robust and full-bodied but not overblown. I’d call it measured but the measuring device is a large one. Coal, blackcurrant jelly, clove and toast flavours with sweeter plum-like characters through the middle, and a slightly burnt, woodsy element to the edges. Maybe it lacks some highlights but it’s a good, solid release" 

Winery note
"Displaying lively dark cherry aromas overlayed with oak nuances of moccha and vanilla bean. There is a slight brooding ferrous element to the aroma which provides complexity. The rich and generous dark fruit spectrum on the front and mid palate is classic Blackwell. Grapes for Blackwell are sourced from the north-west corner of the Barossa Valley. The grapes are sourced from vineyards surrounding the parishes of Ebenezer, Greenock and Seppeltsfield. Each vineyard destined for Blackwell was vinified separately and had skin contact for between six and eight days. The pump over regime was tailored to the individual vineyard parcel. Post-pressing, the wine spent 24 hours in stainless steel before going to barrel for malo-lactic fermentation. Barrels were matched to each parcel to promote harmony and balance during maturation. American Oak was used with a mixture of one to three year old barrels to ensureseamless integration."
