2007 Shiraz Block 6

Deep garnet in color, 2007 Block 6 Shiraz has pronounced notes of cinnamon stick and dusty earth over warm blackberries and blueberries, cloves, toasty cedar and licorice. The full-bodied, bold fruit is well supported by very crisp acid and medium-firm grainy tannins. It finishes long and spicy. Approachable now, it should continue to drink to 2018+.
