"This 2002 reveals the vintage's cool climate character in its restrained aromas and flavors as well as its European-like elegance and ripe flavor. Dark ruby-colored, with an attractive bouquet of black currants, cherries, berries, dried herbs, earth, and spice box, it is an elegant, finesse-styled, medium-bodied Shiraz to consume over the next 7-8 years."

"The dark plum/purple-colored 2001 Shiraz 1928 (from a vineyard planted in 1928) offers a perfume of pepper, leather, black fruits, and loamy soil scents. Round, generous, and friendly, it possesses full body, plenty of glycerin, and an uncomplicated, richly fruity style. Enjoy it over the next 5-7 years."
