This is a young wine that punches above its weight. The wine is very powerful with aromas of peppered blue and blackberry and vanilla bean. The wine has flavors of blackberry cobbler with deeper notes of nutmeg infused bacon and spiced tobacco. Tannins are surprisingly soft for this young wine, and the finish lingers for a long time. Plays nicely with grilled Fillet Mignon or roasted lamb.
"Matured in American oak, 57% new, the 2009 The Boxer Shiraz has a very deep garnet-purple color and intense blackberry, licorice, tar, menthol and cocoa bean aromas. Very full-bodied and with medium-firm fine-grained tannins and generous, warm-berry flesh, it is nicely balanced by crisp acid, finishing long and a little hot. Drink this one now to 2016."Wine Advocate 91 points
"Dense, focused and juicy in the mouth, a powerhouse that brims with blueberry, currant, smoke and spice flavors, segueing seamlessly into the long finish. Drink now through 2016."Wine Spectator 90 points
