Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Ballast Stone Shiraz is intensely scented of blackberry preserves, blackcurrant cordial and dried mint with hints of chocolate, eucalypt, cedar and licorice. Very full bodied and densely packed with minted black berry flavors, the rich fruit is well supported by medium to firm rounded tannins and enlivening acid, finishing long with some oak poking through. Drinking well now, it should keep to 2016+.
