Even though the vines were only planted in 1994, this is top-shelf stuff, dry grown, concentrated and intense. Bits of mint and licorice give dimension to the ripe blackberry and blueberry flavors, the mouthfeel is full and creamy and the finish turns dry and firm, showing solid structure. Approachable now, but probably best from 2010 to 2020.——J.C.(11/1/2007)—— 93

The tightly knit, meaty, structured 2002 Shiraz Reserve exhibits plenty of oak along with a more primary character and loads of tannin. Large-scaled in the mouth, it requires another 1-3 years of bottle age, and should prove to be the longest lived of this trio, lasting for 10-15+ years.Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel.
