The purple-colored 2006 Shiraz-Viognier (5%) was sourced from the highly regarded Kalleske Vineyard and the two components were co-fermented. The wine spent 20 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads before bottling without fining or filtration. The enticing bouquet delivers notes of smoke, violet, spice box, game, and blueberry. This is followed by a full-bodied, layered, succulent wine with excellent depth and concentration, a bit of structure, and a fruit-filled finish. Cellar this pleasure-bent effort for 2-3 years and drink it from 2011 to 2020. Cooper Burns is a winemaking partnership of Mark Cooper and Russell Burns which began with the 2004 vintage.Importer: Jane Delaney, The Ravensvale Group, Naples, FL; tel. (800) 580-0052
