    Hacienda 1999 Clair de Lune Shiraz (California)

    Dry red-berry fruit, wood and cinnamon-clove aromas carry just a tinge of chalk-powder notes. The palate shows bright but simple blueberry, cherry and red berry fruit drizzled with a bit of caramel. It may be a bit sweet, but it has a soft mouthfeel, a pleasing price tag and a chocolate-mineral finish.
