World Wine 2004 Cimicky Trumps Shiraz

Barossa Valley, Australia Cimicky Trumps Shiraz is a red wine to be discovered. Robert Parker describes Charles Cimicky as "one of the most quality-driven, meticulous winemakers in South Australia." The winery bills itself as the "red specialists," and for good reason. This Shiraz is a good example of a very special red that "always comes up trumps." We think it drinks like a wine twice its price! Cimicky Trumps Shiraz is a deep ruby red in color with an aromatic nose of black raspberries, cherries, black pepper, vanilla and spice. It is full-bodied, round and smooth, with soft tannins. Rich and robust, the wine offers flavors of black raspberries, cherries and vanilla, with soft oak. It is beautifully balanced, with a long and lingering finish. Enjoy Cimicky Trumps Shiraz with roast leg of lamb, grilled steak, eggplant Parmesan and cheeses.
