The dark plum/purple-colored 2003 Shiraz’s long aging (24 months) in American and French oak may account for some of its muted, more restrained fruit character. Berry, spice, earth, herb, and chocolate aromas and flavors are found in this lovely effort. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.Importer: Ken Onish & John Gorman, Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
