Dark violet. Expressive cherry, cassis and floral aromas are complemented by suggestions of vanilla and candied licorice. Sweet and seamless in texture, this wine offers plush blackberry, cherry liqueur, fruitcake flavors and emerging spiciness. Shows impressive depth and finishes long and smooth, with repeating florality and subtle, slow-building tannins.

Dark berry fruit marks the nose of Duval's 2016 Entity Shiraz. Blackberries, blueberries and plums pick up hints of campfire, charcoal and grilled meat, making it a complete, savory wine, not a simple fruit bomb. It's medium to full-bodied, controlled and contained, without any rough edges and a crisp finish.
