Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Shiraz gives pronounced warm blackberry, lifted black cherry and black currant aromas over nuances of cinnamon stick, chocolate and vanilla. Medium to full bodied, very crisp and generously fruited in the mouth, it has a medium level of rounded tannins and a long fruity finish with some wood and vanilla poking through. Approachable now, it should drink to 2017. Importer: Winebow; www.winebow.com
