Description

Kaesler Wines W.O.M.S. Shiraz Cabernet, Barossa Valley

W.O.M.S. stands for ‘Weapon of Mass Seduction.’

When it comes to the name of this wine, there are two camps – those who like it and those who very much don’t. Conduct this survey before and after tasting and the results will be quite different. Many in the ‘no’ camp, will switch sides after tasting this classic Australian blend of Shiraz (planted 1961) and Cabernet Sauvignon (planted 1985). Expect black cherry, vanilla and swatch of savoury notes.

The WONS is made only in years where the fruit reaches dizzying heights in terms of quality. After pressing, the free-run juice is collected over a day and a half before making its way into mature Nevers oak. There it will remain in that state for more than two years prior to the final blending. Bottled without fining or filtering, the result is a wine that Kaesler advise will age for 30 years. But why so conservative? It could go on and on but it does need a bit of time in the cellar.


The 2006 Shiraz (65%)-Cabernet Sauvignon (35%) WOMS , an acronym for Weapon of Mass Seduction, sourced from vines ranging in age from 45 to 109 years, and aged for 18 months in new and one year French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it reveals a sexy perfume of pain grille, underbrush, pencil lead, black currant, and blueberry. Full-bodied on the palate, it demands 4-6 years of cellaring to reveal its full potential. The tannins are ripe and there are tons of spicy fruit so it should provide satisfying drinking from 2013 to 2026.

(Jay Miller/Robert Parker Wine Advocate) - 92 points

A deep and dark full-bodied combination of cassis and blackberry;
super-ripe and very rich, with plenty of oak; exceptional and amazing concentration; the acid on the finish is vibrant and fresh.
