This 2019 Jimmy Section Shiraz is an odd wine, in that it is midnight black in the glass and the palate is very tannic and spicy. If I were put on the spot, I would insist it was Saperavi, or at the very least Shiraz/Saperavi. Saperavi assists the tannins and acid (and fruit profile), making more sense in the glass. However... all the reading suggests it is indeed 100% Syrah, a densely colored one at that. In the mouth, there is star anise, licorice, blackberry jam and some more licorice through the finish. It's not as long as one might hope in the flavor draw across the palate, but it does deliver a sonic boom of flavor on the front of the palate. Energy plus.

A spicy mix of sarsaparilla, mahogany, clove and cinnamon notes up top mingles with a core of chewy, rugged plum and blackberry flavors at the core. Strikes a terrific balance on the finish. Drink now through 2031. 300 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Shiraz Jimmy Section offers blackberry preserves, prunes and blueberry pie notes over hints of anise, sandalwood, fertile loam and dark chocolate. The full-bodied palate fills the mouth with blackberry preserves and dried fruit notes, with a good foundation of chewy tannins and lively acid, finishing long and chewy.

Distinctive, with plenty of savory, sage and white pepper notes and a juicy core of plum and berry flavors. The tannins provide some traction on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 600 cases made, 350 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
