Yellow Tail Shiraz Reserve 2011

Vibrant, ripe, and generous—a drop that is big on flavor and deep in color with an intense aroma. It has delicious, concentrated dark-cherry and ripe blackberry flavors with hints of chocolate, mocha, and cracked-pepper spice. These full-bodied flavors are complimented by vanilla softness and well-structured tannins. A perfect accompaniment to this wine would be rich, rare char-grilled beef and asparagus or a rich confit de canard to bring out its juicy palate.
