The 1997 Shiraz McCrae Wood exhibits a big, sweet, woody perfume with scents of jammy blackberry fruit. It is a blatantly fruity/woody effort, with abundant glycerin, low acidity, and a lush, chewy, straightforward appeal. Although not the most complex or ageworthy Shiraz, it will please the masses as well as connoisseurs. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
