Directors' Cut Langhorne Creek Shiraz
Strong medicinal character. Oddly enough not in a bad way. It’ll do.

Apr 25th, 2018Dark purple thick wine; nose is excellent with deep vibrant black berries, soft sweet pepper, cocoa, baking spices and vanilla from French and American oak, and some raw meat, mineral, and cocoa notes; taste sensation starts with soft tannins, high alcohol and acids, and continues with black plum juice, and it ends long ang strong. Old vines, only new oak, 14.8% alc.

Jan 26th, 2018Blueberry compote, eucalyptus, currant, and orange peel aromas. Blue and black fruits mingle with an earthy mineral note, cedar, and an easy acidity. This is not a huge Aussie fruit bomb. This is a well balanced wine that hits well above its price point. I expect this will easily cellar another 3-5 years.

Jun 2nd, 2017Had great hopes for this. Always enjoyed the Stickleback. However, despite the full fruit opening, the finish left a negative earthy, taste that was quite disagreeable. 2nd, better, but still too "dirt-like". Costco. $25.99
