Pretty Sally Shiraz - 2004(W-837)

Pretty Sally Shiraz
Big Powerful Jammy Spicy

Winery Story

Pretty Sally Estate was established in 1996 with a single mission: to produce world class wines that over-deliver. Its commitment to excelle... (more...)nce begins in the vineyard, as only exceptional grapes can produce great wines. Its focus is on detailed vineyard management coupled with expert winemaking. The location of their vineyard, 40 miles north of Melbourne in Central Victoria, was selected for its ideal soil and climatic conditions. its winemaking philosophy is one of minimal intervention, enabling the process to follow its natural course. John Ellis, Pretty Sally's winemaker, insists that the flavors be in the fruit in the first place. Nothing is added to affect flavors other than traditional fermentation and oak aging techniques.

Tasting Note

Pretty Sally Shiraz is a real standout. It has an elegance and depth that an Australian Shiraz often lacks, and is nevertheless of great val... (more...)ue. On the nose are perfumed, plush, cherry and black pepper aromas. Flavors of candied berry fruit and jammy spice follow, creating a juicy and smooth finish.

I generally don't like tons of black pepper in a Shiraz, but Pretty Sally is an exception. It's a huge, extremely peppery wine whose pepper is balanced with a great fruity mid-palate. Generous finish. The pepper is very strong, so among my friends it was a love it or hate it wine, and the people who loved it were lovers of big wines like myself. Great wine for the price, it is definitely my favorite wine out of the first case I got from Bottlenotes.

What a delicious wine this is. We tasted the Pretty Sally Shiraz in a "steminar" event tonight conducted by Bottlenotes & Bottega del Vino Crystal. Attendees were wow'ed by the difference great stemware makes. While PS Shiraz is always good, a perfect Rosso Amarone Stem made this $20 bottle of wine drink like a $40-$50 bottle. Yummy!!
