Deep garnet-black colored, the 2008 Stonewell Shiraz presents relatively youthful notes of warm black plums, blackcurrant cordial and crushed blueberries over licorice, chocolate box and yeast extract. Full bodied, ripe, rich and expressive in the mouth, it is adeptly structured with refreshing acidity and a firm level of grainy tannins. The long finish provides layers of dark fruit and spice flavors. Drinking well now, it should continue to evolve gracefully through 2021+. Importer: The Hess Collection New World Wines, Napa, CA
