Purple with a grey edge to it. Bacon-fat, cedar, clove and subtle chocolate notes layered over jammy raspberry and cherry, with again a menthol scent. Plenty of upfront, rich black fruit on the palate, with a fair amount of powdery, ripe tannins too. Some warmth through the finish, but there’s plenty of length here. This may be an ‘icon’, but it’s no bruiser; more Sean Connery than Daniel Craig. (TJ).
96 points David Sly / Decanter: ‘Choosing Cabernet to drive this top-tier blend (short for Nebuchadnezzar) brings lovely grace and lusciousness to the palate, and showing off the character of the cooler 2017 vintage underlines this finesse and elegance.

Different to other top-tier Grant Burge wines – and definitely not a sum of Meshach and Shadrach components – it harnesses power through restraint.
We are thrilled to offer a collection of cellared treasures direct from the producer including the full ‘Icon’ suite.

It generally offers a much better bang to your buck than many over-hyped cult type Shirazes. The fruit is sourced from the 100-year-old Filsell vineyard planted on deep alluvial soils near Lyndoch. The vineyard is triaged on optimum ripeness and flavour development. This is often around 14 degrees Baume. The wine is vinified in open headed down fermenters at warm temperatures. Towards dryness, the wine is drained and pressed, completing fermentation in mostly new American oak hogsheads. Meshach is a highly concentrated and generous Barossa style with a ripe, dense palate packed with fruit, pronounced tannins and supported by American oak. Meshach is already highly regarded for its potential lo... Read more Read less
