Winemaker's Notes: Matured in American and French oak. Aromas of plums, blueberries and spices follow through to the generous palate, finishing with subtle pepper overtones. Made to enjoy now, with cellaring potential of up to 7-10 years.

Ballast Stone Shiraz, 2009
Having enjoyed Ballast Stone 2008 Shiraz (reviewed on 3/2/12), I had to taste their 2009 vintage.
Ballast Stone 2009 Shiraz ($13) is from McLaren Vale, Australia. It is 100% Shiraz and has 15% alcohol. The color is a deep dark purple with a wonderful fruit aroma of cranberry and strawberry, and tobacco. On the palate there is a burst of dark fruit quickly followed by spice and tobacco. It has a long spice finish. Low tannins. Nicely balanced.
