Charles Cimicky - Shiraz The Autograph Barossa Valley 2009 (750ml) California Sonoma Sauvignon BlancCritical Acclaim 94 points Wine Advocate Very deep purple black colored, the 2009 Autograph Shiraz is intensely scented of creme de cassis, black cherry preserves and dried plums with hints of fruit cake, baking spice, cedar and licorice. Full, rich and voluptuous in the mouth, it has a medium high level of acid injecting just enough freshness with medium firm grainy tannins to lend texture, finishing long and layered.
