The purple-colored 2008 Reserve Shiraz was aged in a mix of new and used French and American hogsheads. It emits an aromatic array of toast, mineral, underbrush, incense, and blueberry. Full-bodied, round and layered on the palate, this succulent Shiraz is well-balanced, concentrated, and lengthy. Drink it over the next 8-10 years. The man behind La Curio, a project begun in 2003, is Adam Hooper, a member of the Redheads gang since 2006.Importer: CLD Wines, Barrington, IL; tel. (847) 898-9500
