The dark ruby-colored 2004 Shiraz was aged for 18 months in French and American oak. Notes of cedar, pepper, lavender, spice box, and blueberry appear in the attractive bouquet. Medium-bodied and made in a forward, elegant style, the wine is nicely balanced with ample ripe fruit and soft tannins. Drink it now and over the next 6 years.Importer: Ken Onish and John Gorman, Southern Starz; tel. (714) 892-3030
