From Western Australia, this deep red wine had gentle fruit aromas with some pungent spice. Red berry and cherry flavors, simple yet with an edge of complexity. Tannins were firm with vanilla and cinnamon lingering on finish. Good value.

May 1st, 2016Not the big jammy Shiraz I was looking for, but not bad. The nose consists of dark chocolate, blackberry, black cherry, burnt toffee and a whiff of menthol and tobacco. The palette delivers the fruit first, but it feels like cool climate fruit. A touch of rhubarb adds a bit of bitterness, while dusty earth and dried currants close things out. A robust 15% alcohol is barely noticeable. A well rounded affair.
