2006 Hundred Acre Ancient Way Shiraz

Deep garnet colored, the 2006 Ancient Way Vineyard Summer's Blocks reveals a provocative mélange of kirsch, plum pudding and blackberry tart scents with Chinese five spice, aniseed and wood smoke suggestions. Full-bodied and voluptuously fruited, with a wonderfully velvety texture, the palate is unabashedly seductive, finishing on a long-lingering aniseed note.
