The 2005 Epsilon Shiraz comes from 32-year-old vines in Greenock. It was aged for 10 months in seasoned French oak. Purple-colored, it has an excellent bouquet of cedar, tobacco, violets, plum and blueberry. Medium-bodied, the wine has excellent depth, layered blue fruit flavors, and ripe tannins. It will evolve for 3-5 years and drink well through 2017 but can be enjoyed now. Dan Standish, who started his namesake winery in 1999, was once a winemaker at Torbreck and, like David Powell, is a fan of Rhone wines.Importer: Ben Hammerschlag, Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel.
