From the bottle:
"It was a leap of faith which inspired a small group of European settlers to leave their homeland and seek the opportunities of the Barossa in 1842. They established small farms and vineyards and started making uniquely Barossan wines which reflected the region's ancient soils and friendly climate. That same faith in the provenance of the vine has sustained the region's grape growers and winemakers for five generations.
The 2010 Faith Shiraz reveals a palate full of juicy raspberry and dark cherry flavours. A silky textural sensation of smooth tannins follows with a chocolate and blackforest fruit persistence. Make room in the cellar - 2010 Barossa Shiraz is stunning!
14.5% Alcohol"
The 2010 St Hallett Faith Shiraz begins with a very pleasant aroma featuring lots of spicy, ripe, red and black fruit and a touch of vanilla. Tasting this smooth wine reveals lots of juicy fruit (plum, black cherry) and tons of spice. There are definitely some oaky notes, but they are not overdone by any means and add a nice mocha component. Even though the wine offers some complexity, it's still all about the juicy fruit and spice which lasts into the medium length finish.
