Need a few bottles, yet minding the budget? This chewy-style Shiraz can be counted on for its nice core of blackberry flavor and solid, lingering finish.
A serviceable wine with an earthy, warm center anchored by plenty of ripe fruit. The finish comes on rather fast, with some pleasing chocolate/pepper/spice tones
Boarding Pass 1st Class Shiraz 2006
