Tasting notes: Wine Advocate # 186
Dec 2009 Jay Miller 90 pts Drink: 2009 - 2017

The 2008 Hales Shiraz contains dollops of Grenache, Mataro, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Purple-colored, it offers up a bouquet of cedar, spice box, violets, plum, and blueberry. Layered, savory, and full-flavored, what it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in unadulterated pure fruit. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.

Wine: Rolf Binder Halycon Cabernet Merlot 2008
Region: Barossa Valley Country: Australia
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Tasting notes: Savoury dark chocolate and plums of the Cabernet match the spice and fruitcake of the Merlot, creating a rich, full bodied blend. Subtle use of French oak lends a supporting role to this wine, layering the palate with soft velvety tannins and concluding with a long, opulent finish. This is an amicable wine to be enjoyed during long Halycon days.

Wine: Heinrich 2007
Region: Barossa Valley Country: Australia
Grape: Shiraz / Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre / Mataro
Tasting notes: The Heinrich was harvested by hand. The Shiraz, Mataro and Grenache are separately crushed, fermented and aged until final blending and bottling.

Mostly shaven and older French and American oak barriques are used for barrel-ageing, although some new oak was implemented in the ageing of the Shiraz. The wines are left in barrel for approximately eighteen months, and then blended before bottling.

The wine was blended to taste and style, utilising the body and strength of the Shiraz, the ripe confectionary fruit of the Grenache and the fine earthy tannins of century old Mataro.
