Tasting Comments: Grab you gold lariat, snap on you “Bracelets of Submission” and settle down to a liquid incarnation of Lynda Carter’s definitive –live action superhero, Wonder Woman. This wine is kick arse. Aromatically it takes a departure from Margaret River Shiraz, as this one arrives with considerably more feminine enticements and floral flourish. It leaps from the glass with black Doris plums, dark velvety boysenberries, raspberries and mulberries. Alluring, certainly, but don’t be fooled by the pretty introduction. The palate tells a different story; muscular yet poised, with fine pencil shavings, maraschino cherries, burnt toffee sugar, all wrapped in a silken texture. The finish is long, fluid and disarmingly effortless.
