Very deep green-violet in color, the 2011 Carnival of Love flaunts a very expressive & fragrant nose with floral notes, roses & potpourri intermingled with toasty black cherries, creme de cassis, chocolate, pepper & accents of cinnamon & cloves. Rich, ripe & full-bodied, this concentrated, single-vineyard 100% Shiraz retains crisp acid, has low to medium levels of soft silky tannins before finishing very harmoniously & long. Drink it from 2014 to 2022+. 93+ points. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate.
