"The 2005 Shiraz & Viognier (5%) spent 17 months in French and American hogsheads, 10% new. Purple-colored, it has a reticent bouquet of violets, earth, plum, and blueberry. This leads to a firm, full-bodied wine with layers of fruit, light tannins, and 2-3 years of aging potential. Drink this tasty wine through 2012. This wine is an excellent value." -Jay Miller
