Tasting Notes

2006 Vintners Blend Shiraz

The 2006 Shiraz is a dark and rich wine, with hints of smoke and vanilla that pair beautifully with its luscious black fruit, notes of eucalyptus,
and subtle chocolate. The wine is full bodied yet soft and round with enough tannin to support rich meats, hearty pastas, or just on the table among friends.
