Barton Vale The Changeling Eden Valley Barossa Shiraz, 2001

 

Eden Valley is an elevated cool climate area of Barossa that produces some of 
Australia's best Shiraz wines, including those of Stephen and Pru Henschke (Hill of Grace, Mount Edelstone). Eden Valley is always on my radar, and that's why this wine caught my attention...and my winning bid.

Medium deep ruby. Black fruits evolving to red: blackberries, red currants, boysenberries, pomegranates. Beautiful strructure with acidity that keeps me coming back for sip after sip of that deep, concentrated fruit. Tannins have softened. Long, evolving finish. A special wine for a special occasion. A perfect match for rack of lamb.
