2009 The Naomi shiraz cabernet TASTING NOTES BY LEWIS BLAKE

Colour and Condition - the wine was deep crimson  in the glass, with a purple tone attesting to its youth.  The condition was excellent.

Bouquet - the nose was a subtle commbination of a berry fruit and French oak, initially subdued but developing in the glass.

Palate - the front palate was characterised by berry fruit, lifted by the fresh acid base. The middle palate was smooth and mouth-filling, and lacking in the somewhat acrid varietal characters that can dominate the Shiraz-based wines to their detriment.  The finish was clean, slightly astringent, of good length and with the oak the most prominent feature.

Overall I found it to be a wine more subtle than it's predecessor, with all the necessary ingredients to mature well. It currently displays a freshness on the palate and is yet to fully integrate. 

(Again) Congratulations on producing a stylish wine with such qualitiies.
