This Shiraz from Shinas Estate has a deep ruby color that reflects its intense character.The nose is filled with aromas of ripe plums and cherries, along with notes of black pepper, allspice, dried herbs, and a hint of smoky oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with ripe, juicy flavors of dark berries, figs, and spices, all framed by firm, fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering hint of sweet wood smoke. An enjoyable, complex Shiraz that will reward cellaring.
