The opaque purple-colored 2007 Little Ox Shiraz was aged in seasoned French oak for 24 months. It displays a Port-like bouquet with notes of black cherry, blueberry, and mocha. Medium to full-bodied, smooth-textured, layered, and succulent, this pleasure-bent effort has a remarkably long finish for its modest price. It over-delivers big-time.
