The 2007 Hard Yards Shiraz spent 12 months in seasoned French and American oak. The bouquet offers more aromatic interest with its notes of cedar, spice box, mineral, game, and blueberry. Smooth-textured on the palate, it has layers of sweet fruit, incipient complexity, fine balance, and a fruit-filled finish. This outstanding value is meant to be enjoyed over the next half-dozen years. Importer:Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
