The 2000 Shiraz Winemaker Selection, aged in 100% new French and American oak, is an elegant, dense ruby/purple-colored, medium to full-bodied, well-made Shiraz. Playing it close to the vest, it will benefit from 1-2 more years of bottle age, and should last for 7-8. American Estates Wines, Inc., Summit, NJ; tel. (908) 273-5060
