The 2006 Warner Vineyard Shiraz contains 1.5% Roussanne. Fermented with native yeasts, it was aged for two years in 60% new oak and bottled without fining or filtration. Opaque purple-colored, the enticing nose reveals notes of wood smoke, meat, spice box, leather, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate it exhibits an elegant personality, layers of spicy fruit, succulent flavors, and a pure finish. Give it 2-3 years and drink it through 2021.
