Timing of the harvest period was normal, with most fruit enjoying the moderate ripening conditions and became flavor ripe at balanced sugar and acid levels. Each batch was open fermented for 7-8 days on skins with low intensity pump-overs conducted to preserve the primary fruit flavors in the wine. The wine was then pressed off to finish fermentation in tank or old oak barrels. Most batches spend part of their maturation time in old French and American oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eSteak and other juicy red meats.

Exotic, expansive aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, vanilla and cola, along with a peppery overtone and a hint of violet pastille. Broad, fleshy, appealingly sweet boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors show excellent depth and a seamless texture. Finishes juicy and long, with building spiciness, an echo of blue fruit and round tannins. - Josh Raynolds\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (July\/August 2014), 91 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fox Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948819247151,"sku":"A0EE371000SZL","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/fox_creek_shiraz_hq_label.jpg?v=1771484131","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/fox-creek-shiraz-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
