Warning: This wine contains 17.7% alcohol. If this is not a problem, then read on because the 2008 Suxx Shiraz was built for pleasure and it is a terrific value. Opaque purple in color, it offers up a fragrant nose of smoked meat, game, violets, incense, and blueberry. Full-bodied, opulent, ripe, and sweetly fruited, this intense, savory, rich effort has exceptional length. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
