Moderate minus concentration, ruby with garnet rim, lush red and black fruits, black pepper! Savory on the finish. Neutral oak. Medium plus to elevated acidity and alcohol, elevated body.

Delicious. Dark purple color, velvety smooth, Blueberries, and a hint of cheesecake. Or maybe I’m just wanting dessert 🤷🏼‍♂️🍷

Delicious Australian wine from Barossa Valley for an inexpensive price of $35-$40 in my perspective. Love the 3 varietals of Shiraz, Grenache & Mourvèdre. The blend is nice and all is balanced. Not too much complexity but a great wine ready to drink. 2014 vintage.

Scarlet color. Pine and dark cherry. Incense. Cassia. This is a great wine for a restaurant to sell by the glass as it is just as good if not better the next day. The character changes and the pine resin character disappears to be replaced by blackberries and mineral salts.

Fruit forward with pepper texture. Great with brisket.

John Duval previously caretaker of Penfolds Grange! The Shiraz and Grenache combine flawlessly on the palate, the Shiraz peppery and biting with Grenache berry tones. The Mourvedre is the hidden gem. Balanced and structured.

Smooth...smells of black berries, licorice, dried herbs, pepper and earth. Medium bodied, fringed with satiny tannins, crisp with acidity, long and fine in fruit flavour, finishing sweet and lightly salty. Quite elegant, seamless, flowing and delicious.

Solid GSM. Could use a touch more acidity.
