95 points Robert Parker, 92 points Stephen Tanzer
"Dark ruby. Strikingly aromatic and all over the olfactory map, offering notes of dark cherry, blackcurrant, graphite, violet, rose, Sen-Sen, licorice pastille, underbrush and cracked pepper, all framed by sexy, light, bourbony oak notes. Very rich and full, with terrific cut and lift. The flavors of bright red berries are complicated by sweet pastry hints and tangy minerality. This has wonderful freshness and life for its size and should richly reward cellaring."
From the winemaker:
"From 124 year old vines comes this superb Shiraz. Handcrafted, it is our finest example of our signature varietal. Block 6 Shiraz continues the tradition at Kay Brothers of producing full bodied red wines that have the grace and pedigree to age for years. Hand picked & fermented in the original open top fermenters, Block 6 Shiraz is a wine of great strength, deep complexity and amazing beauty. Deep purple in colour with a violet hue. It shows aromas of boysenberry, musk and raspberry, with underlying graphite, hazelnut and a hint of cedar."
