Cut from the same mold as the Sarah’s Blend, the inky/blue/purple-colored 2005 Shiraz offers up sweet, rich aromas of blackberries, toasty wood, licorice, and a touch of pepper. This dense, opulent, fleshy, full, rich, mouthfilling, concentrated Shiraz should drink well for 3-4 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
