Casting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2008 Provident Shiraz has warm cherry and blueberry aromas over balsamic, earth and a bit of funky / gamey character. Ripe, plush and full bodied on the palate, it has a high level of acid and medium level of grainy tannins, going long in the finish. Drinking now, it should keep through 2015.
