Very deep garnet colored, the 2006 Burvill Shiraz offers notes of blackberry preserves, creme de cassis, olives, meat and loam with just a whiff of balsamic. Medium to full bodied with a good amount of expressive fruit, it has a medium level of velvety tannins and crisp acid to support, finishing long and savory. Drink this now through 2014.
