Moorebank Private Vineyard
“Sheila” Black Sheep Shiraz 2009
Pokolbin (Hunter Valley), New South Wales
Wine maker: Gary Reed
Price: $30 a bottle
I like winemakers of the relaxed type. Gary
Reed, you have done well. Sheila is a deep purple-red shiraz originating from
Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley Wine Region of
New South Wales.
I drank this bottle over a few days and I
have found it to be a versatile dinner-party-friendly wine. There’s been green
chicken curry, roasted five spice chicken, stir-fry, chocolate, bruschetta, and
steak (with a jus made from the Sheila Shiraz) The nose reminds me of warm
cherry pie I once bought on a long drive from Sydney to Brisbane. It’s relatively
sweet and the aromas continue into the mouth and develops depth that is added by
the oak it is preserved in (only a slight sweek soft oak.. not like you’re
drinking wood at all). The velvety tannins are a genius finish as the wine
pulls away so as you swallow you’re left salivating and wanting another taste so
that you can experience the journey all over again.
At $30 a bottle I would recommend
you to keep 1 or 2 in your cellar to drink in
the next year if you
want to impress. It’s one of those bottles that will make you look like an avid
wine critic as it seems quite hard to find now. Nevertheless, poke around the website and see what you can find :)
