"Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of leather, blood orange and black cherry, dusty earth, and irises and sanguine with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a warming, engaging, medium-length finish revealing impressions of black pepper dusted black berries and red cherries, leather and black tea, teriyaki peppered jerky, and bbq salmon with medium, chewy tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. An Australian Shiraz with some funky and interesting Southern Rhone vibes."
