Aged in both French and American oak (only 20% new), the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003 Shiraz (66%)/Cabernet Sauvignon (34%) The Bull and Bear reveals vanilla, spice box, black currant, and tobacco leaf characteristics along with medium to full body, a beautiful texture, and a pretty, elegant, French-like personality. This brilliant operation is a credit to the meticulous winemaking of Michael Twelftree and his staff!Importers: Vine Street Imports, Philadelphia, PA; tel.
