Tasting notes
Production: 7,250 cases Blend: 90% Shiraz/10% Cabernet Sauvignon The attractive, chocolate, mocha, coffee-like nose exhibits more spice than fruit. While this is a full-bodied, tannic, round, generous wine, it is also rustic and coarse with noticeable alcohol. It will keep for another decade, but do not expect any miracles to occur. Note: The production figures shown are for twelve bottle cases unless otherwise noted. Importers: PWG Vintners, Monterey, CA; tel. (408) 655-4848, fax (408) 655-0904
