1994 Eileen Hardy's Shiraz

The 1994 Shiraz Eileen Hardy, which represents the winery's finest Shiraz cuvees, exhibits a murky, saturated dark plum color, as well as distinctive earth, American oak, and blackberry liqueur-like aromas, and unctuously-textured, thick, full-bodied, uncomplex but rich, chewy, long flavors. Moderate tannin is present in this wine, which appears to have been boosted by an addition of tartaric/citric acidity. Chunky, mouthfilling, and rustic, it should drink well for a decade.
