Black fruits and mint on the nose with hints of blue fruit. Medium to full bodied with a soft mid palate and a slightly spicy finish. A nice wine, but not good enough to warrant the price.

Well balanced yet bold Shiraz. Was perfect with Kobe New York’s and truffle mash. Yum!

'02 Oliver Hill Jimmy Section shiraz; ripe Kirsch nose; on palate ripely sweet of black cherry and blueberry, excellent acid brightness carries the fruit intensity beautifully.

Bright apple grape nose - wood enters at the end/edge. Light pleasing tannins, good fruit - butter highlights. Nice Shiraz.
