The 2004 Shiraz contains 2% Viognier co-fermented and aged in American oak, 30% new. It reveals a fragrant perfume of violets, mocha, bacon, smoked meat and blueberry given a lift by the dollop of Viognier. On the palate it shows off an elegant personality with plenty of spice and incipient complexity. Drink this harmonious effort through 2016.

The big, rich, full-throttle 2003 Shiraz boasts a smoky perfume of melted asphalt, creme de cassis, pepper, and background wood. A deep, sweet, full-bodied entry is followed by a surprisingly streamlined, elegant wine with loads of flavor in addition to good finesse and harmony among its building blocks of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and extract. While approachable, it should age gracefully for a decade. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
