Global Wine Shiraz 2009

This wine is another example of this fine varietal with a somewhat dry finish. A medium bodied wine displaying wild berries, and ripe plums on the nose. With a little time, it will develop into a lovely Global Wine Shiraz with opulent fruit and an integrated wood structure.
