Shotfire Ridge 2004 Barossa Shiraz

Very bold, with lots of intense flavor. A real toothstainer though - it turned my mouth purple.

While pallets of TC Shotfire Ridge languished on slow boats to Los Angeles, I was innundated with phone calls for it. This was at the old job. I drank the 2002 out of a brown paper bag behind a church with a retired Army colonel and a brain surgeon. We ended up getting in a fight with a busload of angry and drunken soccer players and we won. I slept for a week afterwards. For the 2003 I actually used a glass and as I faded into that black purple mire of everything that is good and supple and ripe about Shiraz. I fought this bitch back like Gandalf and the Balrog, but in the end, I utterly lost. Yes, it was worth the wait. A huge purple succubus that will take you down and do a shimmy on your tongue for weeks afterwards. Shotfire Ridge Shiraz makes me want to slice open the guts of everyone who has ever seriously told me that Yellow Tail Shiraz was "Yummy", anoint them with this purple elixer and save their very soul from damnation...

Yummy chocolate taste. The 'Inky Abyss' as it were. I feel lucky to have sipped on this with friends while discussing the finer points of wine tasting.

Delicious classic shiraz that tastes of black fruits, plum and an undertone of cocoa. Sweet, velvety tannins, and well-balanced. Terrific with Peccorino Tartufello.
