Deep garnet-purple-colored, the 2011 Shiraz gives a good intensity of ripe blackberry and black cherry aromas with hints of black plums, tar, licorice and loam. Medium-bodied with a medium level of chewy tannins and lively acid, it offers just enough fruit to flesh the mid-palate and finishes medium-long. Drink it now through 2014.
