Really dark color. Medium body and tannins. Really dry and bitter mouthfeel. Missing that spice I really love in a Syrah but my palate has been trained on FLX wines.

Dark fruit and blueberry flavours, vanilla and spiced cinnamon barrel aromas also noticeable. Slightly on the sweet and alcoholic side which lends a heaviness to the structure, would likely pair well with an Aussie steak meal

Nice, drinkable table wine. Not something I'd bring to a house, but for the price, it's a nice bottle of Shiraz to keep on hand for any night of the week. A little bitter on the finish, but that goes away by the second glass.

Australian shiraz from a region known for quality shiraz. Hints of plum and sweet pipe tobacco, a nice smooth balance, and nicely dry.

Just balanced thread of Shiraz pepper and velvet consistency on the tongue. Will age very well, but very good now also.
