Shiraz

Shiraz Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: 100% Shiraz from North Coast vineyards, the 2004 Shiraz shows incredible extraction in its deep, ruby red and purple hues. Aromas of spring violets, ripe plum and blackberry rise over undertones of leather, tar and toast. A rich, velvety mouthfeel exposes ripe blueberry, spice and smoky oak flavors. This is a concentrated wine with excellent tannin structure and a long, lingering finish.

Varietal Definition
Shiraz:
Alternate name for the french Syrah clone grape grown in Australia and responsible for very big red wines that are not quite as intense in flavor as the french Rhone versions.
