1998 Fox Creek Grenache/ Shiraz Condition: Once past the black/ruby/purple color of the 1998 Grenache/Shiraz (70% and 30% respectively), creamy, oaky notes emerge along with ultra-ripe cherries and assorted black fruits. This hedonistic, voluptuously-textured, spicy, fruit-dominated wine has no hard edges, and fills the mouth with terrific intensity yet good balance and freshness. Drink it over the next 4-6 years.
