Very deep garnet-black with a purple rim, the 2009 Meshach Shiraz offers up a pronounced perfume of potpourri, powdered cinnamon, chocolate box, menthol and incense over a core of creme de cassis and prunes. Full-bodied, rich and seductive in the mouth, it offers layer upon layer of evolving black fruit and exotic spice flavors supported by firm, grainy tannins and balancing acidity. It finishes with great length. Drink it now to 2024+. Imported by Wilson Daniels Ltd., St. Helena, CA; www.wilsondaniels.com
