THE just released 2006 Turkey Flat Shiraz ($45, 96 points) has to be one of the best value
top-quality red wines in the country. It has a track record of excellence, a recent tasting of the '99, '01, '02 and
'04 all supporting a minimum 10 to 15-year life span.
what matters is the wine in the glass. It has superb texture and structure, with velvety
tannins supporting an array of black fruits plus a touch of licorice. With a true alcohol content of 14.5 per cent, it
is a perfect paradigm of what Barossa Valley shiraz should be. 96 pts James Halliday Weekend Australian
