This opaque purple-colored, concentrated Shiraz is aged in both American and French oak. Creme de cassis aromas emerge from this sweet smelling, rich, concentrated, full-bodied, dry red wine. There is plenty of cassis fruit, good spice, and a heady, moderately tannic finish. Still young, it requires 1-2 years of cellaring, and should keep for a decade or more.
