The purple-colored 2006 Bremerview Shiraz was aged for 12 months in a mix of new and used 300-liter American oak hogsheads. It offers an attractive bouquet of cedar, game, blackberry, and blueberry leading to a medium to full-bodied wine with ample ripe fruit, a supple palate-feel, and good length. Drink it over the next four years. Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
