Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1995

Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1995 is a full-bodied red wine from the Barossa Valley of Australia. Winemaker Robert O’Callaghan’s Basket Press Shiraz is produced from grapes sourced from dryfarmed vineyards up to 140 years old dry-grown vineyards across a range of Barossa soils, altitudes and micro-climates. This is a true bona fide Barossa icon, here in a fully mature 1995 vintage expression. "Not considered a top-notch vintage but still very impressive, this is a youthful, unevolved wine that seemed every bit as backward as the 1996 and even more youthful than the 1997. Deep purple with sweet creme de cassis notes intermixed with underbrush, creosote, and pepper, very rich, vigorous, full-bodied, and moderately tannic, this is still a baby." Wine Advocate, 2001
