Shiraz – 2012; Red Wing Dove; Hamilton, Texas


Time has blessed this seven-year-old Shiraz with a great deal of complexity and smoothness. It is still quite fruit forward with hints of cherries and plums. The soft tannins on the palate leave a light lingering leathery note. After leaving the bottle uncorked a couple of hours, the profile does change, and one notes the blackberry fruit is more pronounced and the wine has a very smooth finish. This is a real meal pleaser yet also drinks nicely on its own.  Cheers!
