Beautiful, meandering black fruit is this Shiraz’s overarching and distinctive feature. Deep purple in color, the wine has an aromatic nose of blackberry, mint, raspberry, blueberry and black plum, with hints of leather. On the palate the dry, full-bodied Shiraz jumps from one just-ripened black fruit to the next. An underlying streak of tartness unites all the flavors.
