The 2008 Orphan Bank Shiraz gives a deep garnet-purple color and very earthy nose of underbrush and damp loam over dried Provence herbs, black cherry, blackberry and a touch of cinnamon stick. The full-bodied, richly fruited palate has fine structure with firm grainy tannins and high acidity supporting the flesh through the long finish. Drink it now to 2019+. Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 2010 Bright purple. Black raspberry and cherry preserve aromas are complicated by suggestions of cracked pepper, cola and flowers. Soft, sweet and round, with nicely concentrated dark berry preserve flavors, pliant tannins and an exotic spicy character. The focused, spicy finish repeats the black raspberry note.
