Deep garnet-purple in color and scented of crushed blackberries and blueberries with a real peppery undercurrent and nuances of aniseed, camphor and chargrill, the medium to full-bodied 2012 Flint Rock Shiraz offers plenty of spicy black fruit flavors in the mouth with a medium level of rounded tannins and lively acid. It finishes long and peppery. Drink it now to 2018+.
