Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2010 Dead Arm Shiraz has slightly evolving blackberry notes wafting over a core of forest fruit coulis and dried mulberries accented by suggestions of sandalwood, Indian spices and dried Mediterranean herbs. Medium to full-bodied with loads of evolved black fruit and savory, spicy flavors on offer in the mouth, it has a medium to firm level of powdery tannins, refreshing acid and a long finish. Drink it now to 2021+. Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com

Gritty tannins, bitter flavors and earthy notes wreak havoc on the fruit. Best after 2018. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2,100 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale Select to Add
