Pour this beauty into your glass, and it's an instant showstopper: a profound inky-purple hue that borders on midnight black, with garnet edges that hint at its decade of graceful evolution. Swirl it, and those viscous legs cling dramatically, whispering promises of the intensity within. It's the visual prelude to a symphony of flavors.
Lift the glass, and a captivating bouquet unfurls like a secret garden at dusk. Dominant notes of ripe black plums and wild blackberries dance with whispers of dark chocolate and freshly cracked black pepper, underpinned by a sultry veil of vanillin oak and subtle cedar smoke from extended barrel aging. Flecks of earthy leather and a faint, exotic rose petal perfume add layers of intrigue—elegant yet untamed, evoking the wild Australian bush after a summer rain. This isn't your everyday Shiraz nose; it's a complex invitation to explore.
On the tongue, the Summerfield R2 Double Reserve 2014 Shiraz reveals its full-bodied soul with velvet-smooth tannins that caress rather than grip, building to a crescendo of lush dark fruits—think juicy black cherries soaked in licorice essence, interwoven with waves of espresso and spiced mocha. A vibrant core of acidity keeps it lively and fresh, balancing the ripe generosity of the 2014 vintage's warm Pyrenees harvest. Subtle eucalyptus undertones nod to its terroir, while integrated oak lends a toasty, savory depth that's both hedonistic and harmonious. Medium-to-full weight, it's deceptively approachable yet profoundly structured—ideal for sipping solo or pairing with grilled lamb, charcuterie, or a hearty venison stew.
The afterglow lingers like a memorable sunset: long and layered, with echoes of dark plum, white pepper spice, and a mineral earthiness that fades into soft, balsamic sweetness. No harsh edges here—just pure, evolving elegance that begs for another sip. Cellar potential? Up to 10+ years, but why wait when it's this delicious now?
The 2014 vintage in Pyrenees delivered small, concentrated berries thanks to cool nights and sunny days, resulting in a Shiraz that's powerful yet poised—scoring accolades like 94 points from James Halliday's Wine Companion for its "strikingly powerful" profile. But here's the insider scoop: This Double Reserve edition, with its "R2" denoting rare double-selection of fruit Made by the two Summerfields father and son team, Ian and Mark. Bottled for export glamour and never made it abroad. Now, at www.jackswine.com.au, we're passing the savings straight to you. Search no more for "affordable premium Shiraz 2014" or "leftover export wine deals"—add to cart today and elevate your cellar (or weeknight dinner) for under $30.
