Jones 2004 Shiraz Aug 05

The bouquet exhibits a varnished like oak influence, sawdust pine notes, instant coffee, milk chocolate, and ripe spicy fruit. It is a well-balanced, mid-weight wine with enough dusty tannin to provide a solid foundation. The palate is similar to the bouquet but the complexity is marred by green steaminess. Rated as Acceptable with *** for value, at $20+ in this environment it will be a tough sell.
