Cinnamon, pepper and black cherry aromas start this ageable blend of Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet. Flavors of plum, clove, pepper and tobacco are intricate and need to time to soften in the bottle. Overall, assertive and offering a minerally lift that gives it food pairing appeal.——S.K.(9/1/2009)—— 88
