Coming from the Hoffman Vineyard planted in the 1950s in the Ebenezer sub-district of the Barossa, the 2009 Don Shiraz has a deep garnet-purple color and pronounced aromas of crushed blackberries, cassis and warm black cherries over notes of tree bark, coffee, pepper, anise, cloves and lavender. Richly fruited and full bodied in the mouth, the concentrated fruit is well balanced by a medium to firm level of velvety tannins and medium-high acid, finishing long and spicy. It should drink best 2013 to 2021+. Only 130 cases were produced. Importer: CLD Imports, Barrington, IL; tel. (847) 898-9500
