Tasting notes
A blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2012 Anaperenna is profoundly scented of creme de cassis, blueberry compote and black cherry pie with hints of aniseed, pepper, chargrilled meat and underbrush. Big, full-bodied and voluptuous on the palate, the generous blend of blackberry and meaty, savory flavors is structured by a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and refreshing acid through the very long finish. Drink it now to 2024+. Imported by Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 923-1376

(made from 74% shiraz and 26% cabernet sauvignon): Inky ruby. Powerful black and blue fruit scents are brightened by notes of fresh flowers, black pepper and smoky minerals. Rich but lively, offering sweet boysenberry and cherry-cola flavors sharpened by juicy acidity. Closes smoky, sweet and extremely long, with sneaky tannins contributing shape and grip.
