The 2005 Stolen Block Shiraz received the same upbringing as its colleagues. Saturated purple in color, it offers a brooding bouquet of wood smoke, mineral, earth notes, bacon, and blueberry. Opulent, dense, and full-bodied, this impressively built wine has impeccable balance and 8-10 years of aging potential. Its drinking window should be open from 2016 to 2030. Reilly’s entry level wines are labeled “Barking Mad” and generally offer excellent value. All of the wines noted below in italics are worth a try. Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel.
