Chocolate, grassy nose. Slight tannic, light on the tongue fuller in the back of mouth. Berry, fruit.

A favorite. Almost a light mint flavor. Just fantastic.

A bit of wild dingo on the nose and almost a scorched earth - I've never smelled anything quite like it. Also stewed black and dark blue fruit and a bit of raisin. Surprisingly tart on the palette, blueberries and clay. Strangest Shiraz I've ever tried.

Fruit forward, plums, fresh strawberries and a licorice backbone. Elegant yet full bodied.

Blackberry and liquorice, velvet-like texture, ripe tannins. Great value for money.
