Wine:2005 Shotfire Ridge Shiraz
Review: Normally, I prefer blended Shiraz, but this is a unique wine. Mike, at the Leesburg Vintner recommended this wine and it was an excellent choice.
The 2002, 2003 and 2004 vintages have been consistent high scorers with both Parker and Wine Spectator and I imagine this will be no different.
The wine is a deep purple color and, oddly, contains flavors of both chocolate and vanilla. I was expecting it to be a little young, but it was surprisingly mature with a flavor that lingered, without being too tannic.
Overall, an excellent value.
Price: $18
Grade: 90
