The 2001 Bella's Garden Shiraz (500 cases) was aged in American oak, of which 50% was new. It offers up luscious aromas of blackberry and cherry fruit, chocolate, mint, and eucalyptus characteristics. Dense, full-bodied, and rich, this heavyweight Shiraz possesses outstanding purity and depth. It should drink well for 10-12 years.
