The perfect, low-disease-pressure conditions in which to grow small, healthy bunches of compact, flavour-packed berries.
93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate! The review: "Deep garnet-purple coloured, the Apricot Block Shiraz opens with aromas of crushed wild blueberries and mulberries with underlying touches of roses, black olives, cigar boxes and anise. Medium to full-bodied and generously fruited in the mouth, it gives a great concentration of blue and black fruit flavors with a crisp acid line, medium levels of rounded tannins and a long finish with a little pepper coming through. It is still just a little tightly wound.
