Deep garnet in color, 2007 Obsidian Shiraz has intense dark berry and warm cherry notes with some bay leaf, smoked bacon, cinnamon stick and black pepper. The full-bodied palate offers ripe, generous fruit countered by very crisp acid that is just a bit disjointed. With a medium-firm level of coarse tannins, it finishes long, layered and chewy. Approachable now, it should drink to 2018+. Importer: Guardian of the Grape, Cary, NC. Tel. (919) 467 0085
