A great value, the 2001 Shiraz Bemerview boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as a big, peppery, sweet nose of blackberries and currants with notions of underbrush and earth in the background. Ripe, fleshy, and hedonistic, it will provide enjoyment over the next 5-7 years. Founded in 1850 by Frank Potts, Bleasdale is one of Australia’s oldest family-owned wineries. This well-run operation produces numerous cuvees offering considerable flavor authority as well as value.Importer: Ken Onish & John Gorman, Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
