Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Scotsdale Shiraz is scented of crushed black currant, black plums and licorice with just a touch of earthy tree bark. Medium-bodied, the fruit is still tightly wound round a solid backbone of crisp acid and medium to firm grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy. Drink this one 2013 to 2020+.
