The Shiraz lineup begins with 2006 Shiraz "Jester" which was aged for 12 months in French and American oak. Like the Cabernet 20% dried grapes were included in the blend. Purple-colored it offers up an expressive nose of cedar spice box smoke pepper and blueberry. Medium to full-bodied and supple-textured the wine has a forward personality with layers of spicy fruit and some elegance. It is for drinking over the next 10 years. It is an outstanding value.
