Fairview's 2000 Shiraz is medium to dark ruby-colored, sporting a sweet dark cherry, spice, as well as black raspberry-laden nose. Its copious, intense, and velvety red/black raspberry fruit is fat as well as juicy. This is not a Shiraz for those searching out complexity, rather this wine delivers oodles of fruit and corporal pleasure. This is a superb value. Anticipated maturity: now-2006.
