Youthfully inexpressive on the nose, with just a hint of graham cracker showing at the moment. But in the mouth, there's plenty of weight and the fruit shines, blasting forth in cassis-laden glory. Try in 2010.

A real crowd-pleaser, the 2005 Shingleback may not have quite the complexity of the 2004, but it's still a fun, approachable wine. Cola and coffee notes accent plum and blackberry flavors, while the broad texture coats the mouth with soft tannins. Drink now–2012.
