2006 D Block Reserve Shiraz has a deep garnet-purple color. The nose is a little closed giving subtle notes of warm blackberry and cherry pies, earth, peppered game and anise plus suggestions of dried leaves and moss covered bark. Full bodied with a high level of grainy tannins and high acidity, there’s just enough muscular fruit and savory flesh in the mid-palate, lingering long into the finish. Approachable now, it should drink to 2019+. Importer: Precept Brands, Seattle, WA
