2013 Shiraz (Library)
Library Collection
Out Of Stock
Limited Re-Release from our Library Collection—A rarity in the United States, our cool climate Shiraz pays homage to winemaker Russell Hearn's native country Australia. The 2013 vintage was a near perfect growing season on the North Fork of Long Island, regarded as one of our region's best vintages to date.
This vibrant wine has a rich, dark hue with aromas of fleshy black plums and ripe,raspberry and blackberry with hints of spice box and white pepper bursting from the glass. It's approachably plush and round with a pleasant mouthfeel, silky smooth tannins, plump mid palate and hint of oak with the backdrop of sweet spice and fine, feather tipped tannins making this a beautiful wine to sip on its own or enjoy with a meal.

Production Notes
Fermented in open top tanks the Shiraz juice spent 10-12 days in contact with the grape skins before being pressed, allowing for the bold flavor and rich color. It was then barrel aged for 6 months in neutral American oak.
