Tasting notes
The 2003 Shiraz/Cabernet/Merlot Keyneton Estate is a blend of 70% Shiraz, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc aged 18 months in oak. Its dense ruby/purple hue is followed by attractive aromas of blueberries, black currants, mint, dusty underbrush, and forest floor. Well-made, medium to full-bodied, and moderately tannic, it is a candidate for a decade of aging. Importer: Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-0993

(a blend of shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc) Deep ruby. Potent red and dark berries on the nose, with exotic notes of fruitcake, molasses, anise and dark chocolate. Smoky, musky tobacco and cured meat notes accent brooding, sweet blackberry and blackcurrant flavors, with a deeper espresso suggestion on the back. Quite ripe and rich, with a chewy texture and firm tannins on the finish. This has fruit to spare, the dark berry flavors showing excellent length and breadth.
