Deep garnet-purple colored, 2009 Shingleback D Block Reserve Shiraz offers very spicy notes of cinnamon stick, cumin seed, anise and allspice with a fragrant core of mulberries, warm black plums and cassis. Full bodied with concentrated, taut, muscular fruit, it is well balanced by a medium to firm level of grainy tannins and lively acid, finishing long with some pepper notes coming through. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2019+. Importer: Precept Brands, Seattle WA
