The top wine in this portfolio is the Stolen Block Shiraz, which is fashioned from 80+ year-old vines cropped at ? ton of fruit per acre. Nearly identical to the 2002, but less nuanced at present is the 2003 Shiraz Stolen Block. An opaque ruby/purple color is followed by sweet blackberry fruit intermixed with white chocolate, pepper, and vanilla. This deep, dense, concentrated Shiraz tastes like it was made from extremely low yields. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years.
