Deep garnet-purple in color and intensely scented of blackberries and black plums with nuances of cedar, black pepper, Indian spices and loam, the medium to full-bodied 2011 Ares Shiraz has a solid core of youthful black fruit and exotic spice flavors with the oak standing out a little as do the firm, grainy tannins at this stage. It finishes with great length. Consider drinking it 2015 to 2024+. Imported by Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL; www.twohandswines.com
