Expert Reviews
The 2017 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz contains 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Shiraz, and this is the vintage that the late Yangarra winemaker Pete Fraser stepped in and made the Shiraz decisions. Here, the wine leads with an altogether different perfume. In place of the open-weave notes of blood plum and mulberry, we see a smoother, somewhat sweeter profile to the fruit: notes of cassis, bay, scraped vanilla pod and cedar. It sits differently on the palate, too. It is seamless and unbroken. The higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon can be blamed for a lot—in the very best of ways. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Impressive and harmonious aromas here with such juicy and intense red-fruit flavors, as well as blueberries and plums on offer. The elegance and focus is impressive, as is the delivery of long, sustained and dense, smooth tannin. Integrated. Really works well. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
