A brilliant effort is the 2005 Brave Faces, a small barrel-aged (20% new) blend of 70% Shiraz and 30% Grenache. Flamboyant aromas of black and red fruits, spice box, flowers, and toast are followed by a rich wine with loads of texture and glycerin as well as a heady, full-throttle yet velvety finish. It should drink well for a decade. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900

A burly blend of 65% Shiraz and 35% Grenache, the 2005 Brave Faces is a big, chunky monster that’s difficult to judge at this stage. It’s closed and inexpressive on the nose, but it has enough body and black cherry fruit to warrant confidence, supported by the long, spice-tinged finish.——J.C.(12/15/2006)—— 89
