Tasting Notes:

A deep inky-purple color and sumptuous aromas of black fruits, exotic spices and earth introduce the 2009 Signature Shiraz as a purely seductive and profoundly unique offering. More serious than prior vintages, this wines dense and texturally complex nature is reminiscent of a young, ripe Côte-Rôtie— offering up flavors of black licorice, blueberry and earthy-sumac spice alongside camphor and bittersweet cocoa. The noble tannins are ripe, rich and granular, promising poise and complexity over time. A long, persistent finish unveils enticing notes of dried orange peel, pain grillé and white pepper.
