Very deep garnet-black colored, the 2007 Ironheart Shiraz has aromas of warm mulberries and evolving black fruits plus touches of dried Mediterranean herbs, tobacco leaf and salami. Rich and full bodied, the palate has a very good amount of mature, savory fruit with a velvety texture and just enough acidity, finishing long with an enlivening herbal lift. Drink it now to 2014+.
