Peppery oak and mixed plum aromas preface classy black-plum fruit in the mouth. It’s a medium-sized wine, with a pleasing, chalky feel; on the finish, the chalk is punctuated by a green note. Still, it’s very good overall, with a size and feel appropriate for pairing with food. 80% Shiraz; 20% Cabernet. 2,000 cases produced.——D.T.(9/1/2004)—— 87
