The 2003 Shiraz Gnarly Dudes’ dense ruby/black color is followed by a sweet nose of creme de cassis and blackberries, supple tannin, an opulent attack and mid-palate, and a pure, seamless finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. This brilliant operation is a credit to the meticulous winemaking of Michael Twelftree and his staff! Importers: Vine Street Imports, Philadelphia, PA; tel.
