The February edition of The Wine Advocate, one of the world’s most respected sources of wine ratings, features McLaren Vale’s Kay Brothers Amery as the headline feature and excellent reviews of their wines, including the beautiful 2010 Hillside Shiraz:
2010 Kay Brothers Amery Hillside Shiraz
93 + points
“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Hillside Shiraz is still a little closed, though with coaxing lots of blackberry and spice aromas emerge with vanilla, toast and marmite notes, plus a touch of bacon. Full-bodied and concentrated, it is definitely big, yet taut and youthful in the mouth with firm, grainy tannins, a crisp acid backbone and a long finish. Drink it now to 2022+. My visit at Kay Brothers included tastings of back vintages of the Hillside Shiraz and the Block 6 Shiraz as a demonstration of how these very special wines can age.”
