2009 Bishop Shiraz is a triumph and it would have been the only wine to make the cut this year were it not for a miraculous return to form for Anaperenna. Shiraz-dominant but still parading an incredible squadron of Cabernet cassis flavours, this great wine harks back to an era when it was known as Godolphin – and it picked up the Trophy for The Great Australian Red. The 2009 gained a near perfect score in my notes and I have no doubt that it will in yours, too.

Blended of 76% Shiraz and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet presents a very deep purple-black color and pronounced aromas of black cherries and blackberries with an undercurrent of coffee, aniseed, damp loam, chocolate, cloves and menthol plus a hint of cedar. Very crisp, full and rich on the palate, it has firm very finely grained tannins, commendable concentration and a long bramble fruit finish. Drink it now to 2022+. All Glaetzer’s fruit comes from the Ebenezer sub-region in northern Barossa Valley.
