Dominique Portet Shiraz 2009

The Portet family boasts ten consecutive generations of winemaking that began in Bordeaux in the 18th century. Father and son team Dominique and Ben Portet run the family winery in the Yarra Valley.
Very dark red in the glass with rich, ripe black fruits on the nose. Full bodied and well structured with good balance and a long finish. Good core of rich, black fruits with quality cedary oak in support as well as hints of black pepper. Beautifully ripe tannins make for a long, impressive finish.
