Wine Spectator 91 Points. - #61 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2010
Winemaker’s Notes:
The Watcher. It is an image steeped in legend and mystery. It implies transcendence and authority. The Watcher is a being of knowledge, of understanding, of concern, of influence. At Fetish Wines, we value this level of attention to every step of the winemaking process, from the soil to the bottle. We do not want to manipulate wine, but to craft it by the subtle direction that can only be achieved through an intimate relationship with the land. For this wine, Rolf Binder is The Watcher.
Rolf Binder is a very well known Australian wine maker and is involved in several Barossa Valley wine labels, including Fetish. If you’re still not convinced Fetish Shiraz is for you, perhaps Wine Spectator might compel you to put it in the cart.
They gave it a 91 and said:
Fresh and vibrant, this is medium-weight and juicily focused to show its blackberry, black plum and white pepper flavors, lingering with hints of white chocolate on the harmonious finish. Drink now through 2018. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 8,000 cases made.
