Tim Adams Shiraz 2016

The Tim Adams Clare Valley Shiraz selected from premium vineyard sites has produced a wine with strong regional and varietal definition. This sophisticated wine has a rich deep crimson hue with aromas and flavours of blackberry, mulberry and dark cherry. Further complexity is built through 24 months of American oak maturation. The front and mid-palate is full and soft, with flavours of small berry fruit and spice complemented by the oak. The wine finishes with integrated toasted oak and firm, structural tannin.

This elegant Clare Shiraz has power and finesse which makes it both approachable now and worthy of keeping for up to 10 years. The wine has been made naturally and may form a harmless crystalline deposit, so will benefit from decanting prior to serving.

Reviews & Awards

“(…). It’s classy, sophisticated and very serious.”

“In character, structure, presence and sheer longevity, this is a Shiraz that should be treated like no other at its everyday price.  Laced with pepper and spice and framed in a rigid chassis of firm, fine tannins, this is a wine built fro the long haul.  It’s classy, sophisticated and very serious.”
Tyson Stelzer, WBM, September/October 2019

“(…).  A fine match with rib-eye.”

“A full-bodied, savoury Shiraz that, despite its whopping 14.5% alcohol level, nevertheless feels well balanced.  There is plenty of Clare Valley fruit – blackberry, mulberry and dark cherry – to savour and a lovely, earthy finish. A fine match with a rib-eye.”
Will Lyons, The Sunday Times (UK), November 2019
