Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2000 ($80)

Considering Mr Lehmann’s love of poker (look at the artwork and names of his wines), I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to review a Peter Lehmann wine on the site, but like catching your straight card on the river, better late than never! The flagship in Peter Lehmann’s vinous armada, the unfathomably long Stonewell is classic Barossa. Waves of lush tannin gently lap against the mouth, leaving sweet strawberry and raspberry fruit washed up on the tastebuds. Eventually, the tide does carry these ripe flavours back out to sea, but not
until they’ve soaked right into the palate. A titanic wine. www.peterlehmannwines.com.au
