This wine takes its name from a condition resulting from a fungal infection that afflicted the vines here, leaving one half, or “arm” withered and dead, but thereby concentrating all of the plant’s energy- and flavor- into the remaining half. This is a dense, powerful, and deeply structured Shiraz capable of long cellar aging, but rich, spicy, and sensuous in its youth. Dark blue and black fruits, black olives, and smoky earth-tones are pervaded with firm tannic grip and persistent texture. Decanting is strongly recommended. Wine Advocate 92+ pts SKU: 1356 Australia
With moderate aeration this value-driven Semillon deepens out and expands in the glass, offering honeyed richness to the classic profile of stone fruits, beeswax, herbs and spices. Retaining fresh acidity, it is at once lively, rich, and lingering on the finish. SKU: 19186 Australia
