Buckshot Shiraz Heathcote 2004

From a relatively young Victoria vineyard (11 years of age), there are 500 cases of this beautifully made, barrel-aged (both French and American) Shiraz. Its dense ruby/purple hue is followed by aromas of blueberries, smoke, and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, with sensational intensity, modest alcohol for a Shiraz of this size (14.2%), and moderate tannin, it will benefit from 1–2 more years of bottle age, and should drink well over the following 12–15 years.
