Wine Specs
Black Shadow is traditionally our own Syrah and Zinfandel label crafted by Philip Zorn and Brent Shortridge. If this wine were the model for the Aussies, Shiraz would still be the current vin du jour!
Mother Nature’s magnificent 2007 Central Coast fruit, fermented in stainless steel, completed in French oak, and barrel aged one year prior to bottling. Dark and dense while complex and beautifully balanced. Sleek and supple in the mouth. Blueberry, blackberry and pepper flavors, over vanilla and allspice due to nicely integrated oak.
A touch of minerals present, just enough to remind you that this is an agricultural product. Other tasters identified dried black cherry, plum, molasses, tobacco and leather – perfect barbecue wine. This will become the thinking person’s house red for the duration.
Silver, Highly Recommended, Best Buy, 2009 World Wine Championships:
"Opaque violet black color. Aromas of charred boar, melted candle, and tomato sauce. A brisk, round entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with blueberry and vanilla notes. Finishes in a crisp, apple skin and chalky tannin fade."

Rich, ripe and jammy! Gobs of fruit and perfect for pairing with chocolate!
