This superb, Cote Rotie-styled Shiraz offers delicious notes of bacon fat, creme de cassis, tapenade, and spicy oak. Aged in 500 liter French hogsheads (20% new), it is an elegant yet authoritatively flavorful effort revealing a wonderful texture as well as a rich, long finish. Enjoy it now and over the next 5-8 years.Importer: Ken Onish & John Gorman, Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
