2003 Bonesetter Shiraz

The 2003 Shiraz Bonesetter (I love the name) is a bigger, more structured effort than the regular bottling, with an intense black/purple color, a full-bodied bouquet of blackberries, cassis, smoked herbs, and roasted meats, and a reasonably powerful (14% alcohol), rich, multilayered personality. While this Shiraz will not mend any broken bones, it will relax the spirit, and please both the palate and the intellect. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
