A beautiful, pure, intense, concentrated effort is the 2004 Shiraz. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by aromas of mocha, white chocolate, black cherries, and cassis. This full-bodied, opulent, gorgeous Shiraz can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Peter Click, Click Wine Group, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689

A fine example of the style that has come to typify Australian Shiraz, this is a round, lush wine, bursting with ripe berry and plum fruit and lashings of vanilla. There’s not a huge amount of complexity or structure, just mouthfilling fruit and oak. Drink now. ——J.C.(2/1/2007)—— 87
