The deep crimson-colored 2008 Strong Arms Shiraz spent 12 months in American oak. The nose offers up cedar, plum, and blackberry leading to a lush, sweetly-fruited, full-flavored Shiraz that will provide enjoyment over the next 4 years. Both of the above wines are great values.
Chris Ringland states, “2008 was a superb year for Grenache”, particularly since he likes working with super-ripe, concentrated grapes. 88 points Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009
