Very deep garnet in color, the 2012 Shiraz The Piece has a compelling nose of crème de cassis, blackberry pie, baker's chocolate and licorice with an earthy undercurrent and hints of eucalypt, incense and cigar boxes. Medium to full-bodied and densely packed with complex, multi-layered black fruit preserves, earth and spice flavors in the mouth, it has a firm yet rounded tannins frame and just enough freshness to give lift to the long finish. Cracking Shiraz!
