Jammy and big, this Syrah is dark and rich, with black currant and plum flavors. It brings me back to my college days when Aussie Shiraz of this style was a mainstay on my table.

An amazing effort, even as a young wine, this Shiraz is fruit forward with blackberry and dark currant tones. Shiraz was once my favorite varietal until the Aussie style changed in the late 1990s to a more thick and sweet style. This more restrained wine may bring me back into the Shiraz fold!

Fruit forward. Almost like drinking jam. Really enjoyed. Felt full bodied. High alcohol? Iā€™m learning here...

Blackberry sauce, fruit cake, and sweet tobacco. Medium-full body, very smooth but not too spicy. Medium to somewhat full swing of acidity and tannins. Pretty tamed for a Syrah/Shiraz .

Supple & fruit driven reserve shiraz with soft, ripe tannins, paired well with grill Prime NY strip! Pleasant & jammy, not over done. šŸ‘šŸ½

spiciness, light plum and hint of spices. Dry and clear. Good with dark meat. Adventurous flavoring. Iā€™m a fan of the spicy flavor!

Jammy dark fruit, spicy, a bit in the drier side. Tastes South American. Pretty good.
