The 2009 Vision Shiraz was aged in French and American Oak, 20% new, for 14 months. Medium-deep garnet-purple colored, it gives pronounced notes of blackberry and black cherry preserves, menthol and sandalwood. Medium-bodied and very crisp in the mouth, it has a medium level of soft tannins, generous ripe fruit and a long straightforward finish. Drink it now to 2014.
