This Shiraz is inky and unctuous and a very obvious "new world" style. Gorgeous nose of ripe berries and cocoa. Dense, rich, well-made and
very aptly named. Layers of lush fruit explode on the palate. Blueberry, blackberry, cola and notes of mocha coalesce into a deep, beautifully structured wine. The immense concentration of this wine calls for decanting--have a glass early and be amazed at how the exposure to air brings forth even more fruit. Unbelievably affordable (under $20). Serve with
Carolina Pulled Pork.
