From a cool climate region, the French-styled red cuvees include the 2003 Shiraz Isolation Ridge, a deep ruby/purple-hued effort displaying spicy, peppery, earthy, black currant aromas, a good texture, and a straightforward, medium-bodied finish. Consume it over the next 5-6 years. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel. (800) 485-5753 for John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection.
