The Black Chook is sourced from McLaren Vale, known for it’s consistent, Mediterranean-type climate and Langhorne Creek which characteristically produces Shiraz that is spicy, fl avorful and elegant. Co-fermenting small amounts of Viognier skins with Shiraz adds a wonderful apricot perfume, at the same time as intensifying the deep rich colour and velvety mouthfeel of the wine.

The odor was meaty. I expected to be soon biting into a medium-rare steak. The taste continued to surprise me; I swear that in the Shiraz / Voignier mixture, there was a few percent olive oil.

Great 'French style' new-world wine. "old world fans leave the room!" I've found that it appeals to a wide crowd. Black Currants with a hint of chalky-chocolate on the bouquet; a little more fruit foreword on the palate. For an 06' it doesn't seem overly young, but could stand another year in the cellar. I drank it while watching Seinfeld but would go equally well with a hearty dinner.

Really nice bouquet; deep red color. Fruit flavors give way to expressive tannins and lingering finish

Nice color, decent midpalate and a really nice finish. Had this not been wine number gazillion on the night you might get more out of me. Nice stuff for the price.

One of my favorites with steak, very flavorful and balanced but not quite as meaty as sharaz only.
