Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Flint Rock Shiraz has warm cassis, black plum preserves and black cherry compote notes with underlying pepper, cinnamon stick and nutmeg hints. Medium to full-bodied with plenty of expressive, cooler climate, spicy Shiraz flavors, it is supported by refreshing acidity, a medium level of rounded tannins and a finish with length. Drink it now to 2018+.
