Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Small Pot Shiraz offers a wild / yeasty nose with nuances of soy, smoked game, loam, orange rind and spices over a core of crushed blueberries and black cherries. Medium to full bodied, rich and generously fleshed in the mid-palate, it has medium to firm rounded tannins, refreshing acidity and a long finish with layers of savory and black fruit flavors plus a Provence herb lift. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2019+. Importer: Sovereign Wine Imports, Santa Rosa, CA
