Ripe cherries and mulberries, with plums, a touch of pepper and violets opens the 2012 Shiraz Art Series, which displays a youthful deep garnet-purple color. Elegant, with good intensity and spice, this Shiraz expresses vanilla on its perfumed palate. The wine possesses lovely, ripe rounded tannins that line the long finish.

Savory style emphasizes earthy, mineral and dusky spice, but there's a core of ripe cherry that rises on the medium weight finish. Best after 2017. 225 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add

(40% new French oak): Vivid ruby. Heady aromas of black raspberry, floral pastilles, Indian spices and woodsmoke, with a hint of vanilla emerging slowly. Smooth, sweet and expansive on the palate, offering energetic dark berry and cola flavors and a hint of spicecake. Distinctly elegant in style, displaying a silky, Pinot-like texture and strong back-end lift. Closes very long and sappy, with harmonious tannins and an emphatic echo of sweet red fruit.
