The 2005 Bruce Shiraz was aged for 18 months in seasoned French oak before bottling without fining or filtration. A glass-staining opaque purple color, it emits a complex bouquet of wood smoke, game, bacon, incense, and blueberry. Dense, layered and succulent on the palate, this impeccably balanced Shiraz can be enjoyed over the next 8-10 years. Importer: CLD Imports, Barrington, IL; tel. (847) 898-9500
