The star at Bremerton is the family's Old Adam Shiraz, selected from among the best barrels in the winery. The 2015 Old Adam Shiraz, from a top-notch vintage in this part of South Australia, features vanilla and cedar on the nose, but the considerable new oak is easily subsumed under waves of blackberry fruit. Hints of menthol, cracked pepper and licorice add nuance, while the full-bodied palate is broad and supple, generous and open, making this a lush, opulent Shiraz to drink over the next decade.

The 2006 Old Adam Shiraz was aged for 21 months in new American oak. Purple in color, it displays a restrained nose of pain grille, pencil lead, violets, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Richer and more structured than its siblings, this balanced effort will benefit from 3-4 years of additional bottle age and drink well from 2013 to 2021.
