Tasting notes
Dark purple. Ripe blackberry and cassis on the intensely perfumed nose, with vanilla and mocha notes adding complexity. Sweet black and blue fruit flavors show excellent depth and a plush, velvety texture. Finishes sweet and supple and very long, with gentle tannins and a late jolt of peppery spices.

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2010 “Director’s Cut” Shiraz displays pronounced notes of warm blackberries, blueberries and crushed black cherries with nuances of pepper, chocolate, cloves, cumin seeds and cedar. With full bodied excellent concentration plus a good whack of oak, the generous fruit is well supported by medium to firm chewy tannins and refreshing acid, finishing long and cedary. It needs a little time for oak to marry and should drink best 2013 to 2020+. Importer: Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 923-1376
