Punt Road 2002 Shiraz Oct 04

My first visit to this winery and I must say I was happy to be greeted by Alli, formerly of Fox Creek, who is one of the bubbliest cellar door people around. Attractive perfumed nose of sweet and floral cherry and strawberry fruits, (the wine not Alli.) A well balanced and well constructed wine with smooth drying tannins, pure delicate fruit and acid that was unobtrusive but crisp. The well controlled acid cuts through the sweet plum and spicy fruit which finishes earthy and dry. Just medium in weight, the consistency is supple and the complexity harmonious. A nice, good quality lighter style of wine that has been well made, it is rated as Recommended with *** for value. The pick of the wines tasted at this winery which is unusual for a Shiraz from the Yarra.
