2004 Dead Arm Shiraz

The 2004 The Dead Arm Shiraz was one of the top five wines I tasted at a recent event featuring over 100 wines.  This fabulous full-bodied wine offers a beautiful dark purple color that’s impossible to resist.  This Shiraz explodes in the mouth with bold blackberry, peppery spice flavors, and although still young it’s pleasantly tannic and complex.

Apparently, I’m not the only taster who enjoyed this Shiraz:  “This deep, rich, full-bodied, tannic Shiraz should be drinkable in 2-3 years, and will last for two decades or more. It is the finest Dead Arm since the 2001.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 95+ Points.

Price: Around $50.
