The outstanding 2003 Shiraz Eastside reveals a similar ruby/purple color in addition to plenty of elegant raspberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with touches of licorice, damp earth, and subtle oak. Full-bodied and more powerful than the attack would suggest, this wine possesses considerable length and richness. It should age nicely for a decade. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel.
