Consume this elegant, medium-bodied Shiraz over the next 4-5 years. Importer: New World Wines / Appellation Imports, Washington, DC; tel. (888) 591-4009

Firm, chunky style packs in plenty of ripe cherry and plum fruit and wraps it in chewy tannins. Needs time to soften. Best from 2004 through 2008. 900 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
