Tasting Notes: Good dark rich purple color, typical of Shiraz. The nose is dark and earthy with hints of black pepper and wet scrub. The mid-palate shows a sweet texture of dark chocolate. The finish is quite savory and dry with hints of dried orange and a black berry style fruit tapenade. This wine shows a great balance of all its elements. This wine is surprisingly sophisticated at this price point and will reward the discerning drinker with its fragrance, balance and length.
Viniculture: Hand harvested from a low-yielding Shiraz block. Open fermentation utilizing both ambient and cultured yeasts, manual pigeage and matured for 11 months in French oak barrique. The Horny Owl is bottled unfiltered to preserve its integrity and flavor, making it a hoot to drink.
