The 2008 The Eleventh Hour is 100% Shiraz from vineyards ranging from 60-125 years old. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it has intense blueberry pie and kirsch aromas with a suggestion of spicy raisin cake. Medium-high acidity cuts through the dense, full-bodied palate with a medium level of chewy tannins and a long finish of dried plums. Drink this one now through 2016. With his family growing grapes since 1844, Dan Standish represents the sixth generation in this line. He started the Standish label in 1999 and Massena in 2000 with partner Jaysen Collins. None of the team here is formally trained in winemaking, with Standish learning through experience at some top wineries including Torbreck. Standish and Collins are becoming increasingly hands-off in the winery and the last few vintages they’ve been adding nothing -- no cultured yeasts, no acid and no tannins.Importer: Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel.
