Amani Jordan Myers (not available for tasting) 2006

The Jordan Myers Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon has a clear menthol element on the nose mixed with mocha, white pepper, toffee and licoric. The entrance on the palate is elegant yet concentrated with a fine tannin structure. The menthol aromas and white pepper follow through onto the palate and linger with a mixture of licorice and coffee. The wine's acid, alcohol and fruit is well balanced with the oak use. There is a lingering lime finish on the mid and back palate.

First selection of the fruit was made in the vineyard
in the cellar : 
After the stringent berry selection, the Shiraz ws cold soaked for 5 days at 15°C and inoculated with a special Shiraz yeast culture and aerated up to 3 times a day. The wine was given a rack and return each day for the first 5 days of fermentation. 5% of the Shiraz was transferred to barrel at 5°B and the balance of the free run wine transferred to barrel at the end of ferment. The Cabernet Sauvignon was fermented in an open stainless steel fermentor at 25 - 25.5°C and pumped over according to daily tasting to optimum tannin and flavor extraction. All wines were inoculated with special chosen Malolactic bacteria for secondary fermentation in barrel.
 
Maturation: The wines were matured for 18 months in French barrels of which 48% was new French oak.
