Background Story:

Official Comment:
“An intensely concentrated wine, the [yellow tail] Reserve Shiraz initially reveals aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, chocolate and mocha. Delving deeper into this complex wine, cracked pepper and spice fragrance are apparent with sweet French oak aromas always present. The vanilla softness on the nose takes you into a full palate crammed with ripe fruits reminiscent of a basket of sweet summer berries. Seamless and well- structured tannins complete this full-bodied red wine.”- Website

WA Comment:
“The 2002 Shiraz The Reserve kicks it up several notches. Dense ruby-colored, richly fruity, medium to full-bodied, and silky-textured with smoky oak, this wine will provide abundant joy over ‘the next 12-24 months.’”

WS: Comment:
"Ripe and generous, not heavy but showing very ripe cherry, sweet spice and toasty oak flavors that persist on the plump finish. Drink now through 2008. 13,000 cases made." Oct 15, 2005

Personal Comment:
Sight: Medium wide of tears. Crimson red with brown rim.
Nose: Ripe, sweet, vanilla, and rich aromas. Light toasty flavors.
Taste: Smooth, slightly dry, and nice acidity. Medium-bodied. Silky-tannin taste but short on lingering. Good for smooth-preferable wine lovers.
