Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Scarlet Runner Shiraz offers notes of warm blackberries, black plums and mulberries with hints of anise and tree bark. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with pure, expressive fruit offset by crisp acidity and a medium level of rounded tannins, finishing long and spicy. Drink this one now through 2015.
