Tasting notes

Much like the 2015 Rifle Range Cabernet, the 2014 Basket Press Shiraz is approachable now, but consumers can expect at least a decade of aging potential. Vanilla and herbal notes accent black cherry fruit and some brighter pie-cherry nuances. It's full-bodied, with softly dusty tannins and a silky feel to the long finish.
