Howard Park Leston Shiraz 2011

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2011 Leston Shiraz is a 100% Shiraz wine showing a nose redolent of blackberry compote and black cherries with underlying black pepper and garrigue hints. Medium to full-bodied and packed with blackberry, pepper and spice flavors that are supported by medium to firm, rounded tannins and just enough acid to lift through the long finish. It should age well and drink from 2014 to 2022+. Score - 91+. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013)
