This 2010 Red Jade Shiraz from Sacredtree has colors of deep red with purple and black hues. It features a nose of violets, spicy red currants, white pepper, 5 spice, plums, raspberry conserve and dark chocolate. The Shiraz is a multi-layered generous wine and flavors of dark chocolate and red berries flow richly onto the palate that combine with the complex savory oak to pave the way for a seamless finish. The highlight of this wine is the persistence, which we attribute to the balance of flavor, acid and tannin. This 2010 Shiraz is a structured wine with soft velvety tannins.
