Notes - Established by Brian Croser in 1976, Petaluma is one of Australia's most prominent wine companies. The Adelaide Review, August 2004 - "This newly-released 2002 is Petaluma’s best shiraz yet. Petaluma planted shiraz and viognier at Mt Barker, due to the site’s low rainfall, vigour-moderating soils and ability to fully ripen while retaining cool-climate character in the finished wine. Petaluma favour a firm style of Adelaide Hills shiraz and this vintage delivers all the savoury characters seen in previous vintages with an attractive, fragrant berry component. It has polish and style. Rhone-like in concept and delivery, this wine has five per cent of viognier, which adds a feint apricot kernel aroma to bind well with the influence of rather assertive oak. There is a dense, earthy side to this wine, with beetroot, vibrant cherry, blackberry and spice. Soft and sweet primary fruit coats the mid-palate, with a gentle firming through to a savoury finish. There’s an engaging tension between finesse and concentration. This wine is evolving well and I would expect to see its fruit settle in the next 2-3 years, with best drinking from 2007."
