Buckeley's Cabernet / Shiraz

點擊次數：2255

The 2002 Cabernet/Shiraz (52% of the former and 48% of the latter) was aged in French oak for 10 months. Displaying a dense ruby/purple color, deep concentrated flavors (black fruits, loamy soil, and a hint of toast), as well as good weight and richness, it is a pure, surprisingly deep 2002 with a hint of chocolate in the finish. It will drink well for 3-4 years, possibly longer. It is difficult to find a wine of this quality for $10. Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689

The approachable, dark ruby/purple-colored 2001 Cabernet/Shiraz (76% of the former and 24% of the latter) displays exuberant cherry and blackberry fruit as well as crisp acidity in its soft, lush, straightforward personality. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. The Buckeley wines are unoaked or minimally oaked offerings designed to offer fruit over wood and make-up. This wine represents an excellent value.Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689
