The purple-colored 2007 Yakka Shiraz delivers a nose of white pepper, smoke, bacon, and blueberry. Just a bit lean on the palate, it has spicy flavors, good balance, and a medium-long finish. It is an attractive cool-climate expression of Shiraz. Importer: The Country Vintner; www.countryvintner.com.au
