Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Bishop Shiraz has a wonderfully open-for-business, exotic spice-laced nose with a fragrant core of mulberries, black cherries and stewed plums, plus a menthol waft. Full-bodied, rich and spicy in the mouth, it fills the palate with black fruit preserves framed by velvety tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with great length.
