Largely dark-fruited, the 2019 Bella's Garden Shiraz boasts scents of blackberries, plums and cola. It's medium to full-bodied, supple and almost creamy in texture, finishing with savory notes of black olive and spice. While it's not as flamboyant as some of the other Garden series wines this year, it shows remarkable harmony and complexity.

Aromatic and fresh, with violet, sage and fresh earth notes and plenty of baking spice to accent the wild blackberry, blueberry and spiced plum flavors, which linger on a juicy, velvety frame. Drink now through 2037. 850 cases imported.

Densely packed aromas of blackcurrant cordial, violets, mint, cedar, bay leaf and ground baking spice carries through to a full figured palate that oozes jammy fruit. It's balanced by savory spiced tannins, a touch of toasty oak and a good lick of acidity. Drink now with a decanter at hand and throughout the next decade.

A blend from 9 districts across the northern and western Barossa floor; 16–40yo vines. Spicy black/red berry fruits define the Barossa, suspended in a frame of dark and milk chocolate oak. Bright acidity and fine-grained tannins hold medium-term promise. It accurately delivers the regional signature it promises, albeit without the distinction or persistence of Two Hands' finest Barossans.
