Corrina Rayment Expatriate Shiraz 2005
Syrah/Shiraz
from McLaren Vale, Australia
winemaker's notes:
"The 2005 Shiraz "Expatriate" was tasted from a barrel sample. It is dense crimson/purple in color with a brooding nose of mineral, leather, spice box, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a full-bodied, voluptuous wine with layered, thick, intense flavors, well-concealed tannins, and a very long finish. Give it 5-7 years to blossom and drink it through 2025." - Robert Parker
