Amon-Ra 2013...

 The key to Amon-Ra Shiraz is the balancing the fruit and tannin extraction, rather than maximising it. The fruit has such expression that we aim to preserve the characteristics of the vineyard rather than dominate them.

The characteristics of the vineyard are enhanced in the palate, preserving the origins of the wine. Brilliant purple and opaque cherry hues, there are lifted, spicy blackberry florals, with layers of earth, dark plum and espresso. Vibrant notes are present on the palate, displaying dried spice, juicy cassis and black plums. Multilayered tannins and fresh acidity will afford this vintage the ability to age supremely well over the long term.
