The 2006 Lodge Hill Shiraz was aged for 11 months in seasoned French and American oak. Purple-colored, the fragrant nose reveals violets, mineral, spice box, and a hint of eucalyptus. This is followed by a full-bodied wine with gobs of savory fruit, plenty of spice notes, good depth, and a lengthy finish. Give it 1-2 years to evolve and drink it from 2010 to 2018.

Shiraz Clare Valley The Lodge Hill 2006
Bright and effusive, slipping a spicy note into the mix as the blackberry and red cherry flavors pop. Veers toward peppermint as the finish lingers with supple texture. Best from 2009 through 2014. 5,000 cases imported. –HS
