90 Points, The Wine EnthusiastDespite an elevated alcohol level of 15.5%, the 2007 Bella's Garden Shiraz displays a crisp, red raspberry fruitiness framed by cedar and cocoa. It's surprisingly focused for this level of ripeness, the structure imparted more by acids than tannins. Drink it over the near term.
From the Winery:
Deep red with black to purple hues. The 2007 Bella's Garden is vibrant and focused, the characters continually evolving. Aromas of red currants, cherries and subtle lavender, followed by chocolate, char, hints of creme anglaise, spice, earth and rosemary.
The wine is full of rich red fruits, cloves and earthy notes, supported by fine tannins and elegant oak. The long palate is full of generous fruit and remains focused as it evenly tightens to a long balanced finish with fresh acidity.
Crushed and fermented in 5 - 10 open top fermenters with regular pump overs; three daily during peak fermentation to extract colour and tannin. A small percentage of free run is drained off and transferred to barrel to complete fermentation; remaining must receives 7 to 21 days maceration before the dry free run is drained to tank, the wine is then racked to barrel. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel. Minimal fining and unfiltered.
