Amon-Ra Shiraz Unfiltered 2017

This wine is Glass-staining purple. Deeply pitched aromas of ripe dark berries, cherry-cola, licorice and violet are sharpened by a peppery nuance. Alluringly sweet and broad on the palate, offering lush black and blue fruit preserve, floral pastille, mocha and vanilla flavors that slowly firm up through the back half.

Finishes on a smoky note, with superb persistence, youthfully chewy tannins and a lingering suggestion of blackberry preserves.
