NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied Shiraz from Chapel Hill is a bold and powerful expression of the classic Australian variety.On the nose, aromas of dark berries, leather, and sweet spice mingle. On the palate, flavors of ripe blueberry, blackberry, and cherry are complemented by subtle notes of chocolate, coffee, and tobacco.
