The 2002 Shiraz is purple in color with a splendid nose offering up pepper, meat, and Asian spices. On the palate the wine is surprisingly elegant with blue and black fruits and a hint of chocolate. The long finish lasts for nearly a minute. Importer: Cavatappi Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 282-5226 (Reviewed by Dr. Jay Miller)

The 2003 Shiraz “Juniper Estate” exhibits an enticing array of mineral, pencil lead, bacon, and blueberry aromas. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe, spicy blue and black fruit flavors, the wine is firm and structured on the palate and should round out after 3-4 years of additional bottle age. At that point it may well merit an outstanding rating. Importer: Rich Hanen, Vintage New World, Tel. (530) 756-6998; www.juniperestate.com.au;
