Sweet cherry notes on aroma and pallets. Somewhat sweet but this wine is delicious and very deep fruit laden.

A very good red wine. Sweet while still slightly bitter. Great transition from sweet moscato wines that I am used to. Fun red to drink.

Guess I don't like sweet Shiraz, 'cuz I'm not a fan of this one. Too sweet - more like juice than wine.

I normally don't like sweet anything but this was really fun. It starts moderately sweet, has structure and a bit of dryness at the end.

(*) not bad. Jammy raspberry compote with a little residual structure from tannins. Slightly bitter tannic bite but overall sweet and only mildly cloying. Good burger or BBQ wine.
