Deep garnet-purple-colored, the 2009 Shiraz reveals aromas of wild blueberries, fresh blackberries and black plums with hints of aniseed, dark chocolate, violets and cardamom. Elegantly fruited and medium-bodied in the mouth, it has a good line of refreshing acidity and a medium level of grainy tannins, finishing long with some pepper coming through.
