Lot #5126. Sanguine Estate Shiraz 2003

Description: Consists of 9 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 91 ST.
"Full ruby-red. Perfumed aromas of black fruits, pepper, spices and licorice; very syrah. Juicy, spicy and bright, firm and precise but also pliant and generous. Classic black fruit and peppery syrah flavors complicated by candied notes and exotic herbs. Carries its 15% alcohol gracefully. Finishes firm, sweet and long. Intriguingly, this wine was made by two winemakers at two locations, from the same vineyard. One cuvee was more astringent and tannic, vinified with a high percentage of stems, while the other was more user-friendly. The two components were assembled only for the bottling." Vinous, Jul 2004
Provenance: The Silver Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $400
