Had the 2020 in November of 2024. Soft fruits on the nose up front. Lighter body with hints of sweet cherry and spice. Interesting little wine. I would drink again.

Right out of the bottle not a huge nose, but very fruit forward, bright, spicy, and the majority syrah (Shiraz) really comes through. A good, solid wine, and for $12 per bottle, this is cheap as chips.

Tried the 2015 vintage at a wine festival and was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy this Syrah blend.

Not too bad for $10. Lacks a little on the finish. Not as good with chocolate as I'd like. :)
