Shiraz / Cabernet
2002 $36.99
"This elegant, stylish blend of 66% Shiraz and 34% Cabernet sauvignon exhibits toasty, smoky oak intermixed with black currant, bay leaf and underbrush characteristics. With good definition, medium to full body, plenty of style as well as class, and a spicy finish, it will provide immense pleasure over the next 7-8 years." 91 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #155
" Superripe, porty aromas of dried berries, mocha and maple syrup; just this side of pruney. Then superripe, thick and rich, with dark berry, chocolate and saline elements as well as a hint of cabernet greenness. Finishes with chewy, sweet, rich tannins and a flavor of jammy berries. " Steve Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 7/8-4
