With 16 months in French and American oak, it should not be a surprise that this wine is as rich and wonderfully wood-spiced as it is. Earthy spice by way of clove, cinnamon sticks, anise root and cigar box bring the typical dark fruit flavors to another level. Balanced and drinkable now with a finish reminiscent of a tanned hide.——L.B.(3/1/2011)—— 89

This full-bodied, spicy, savory Shiraz has all of the stylish hallmarks of the Backsberg wines; assertive but elegant, complex but fun, it starts with aromas of blackberry, smoke and leather and in the mouth, is full, round and supple with a delicious finish. It’s a big wine that can age but is enjoyable now.——S.K.(3/1/2008)—— 90
