Such a unique taste. Almost has the oaky tannins of a Cab, but it's quite smooth and balanced and perfectly fruity

Very tasty and fragrant red. You can taste the Syrah out of the gate but the blend grapes tend to balance it out. Some cinnamon spice with that Viognier nose. The best$11 win I've had this year

Lovely. Fruity with leathery undertones. Black fruit compote. Love this wine. Great for every day.

Feels a bit disjointed especially on the finish. The acid needs tannins. Smells like jelly donuts.

The nose is sort of there but then this is hot and hollow.

Very good- lighter body than a straight-up Syrah, like a Pinot Noir with big fruit.
