Top Notes For
Jay Kline

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Best on Day 2. The 2018 pours a deep purple color with an impenetrable core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe black and red fruits: brambles, tobacco, purple flowers, dill, vanilla, baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and pretty decadent with a velvety texture. Drink now through 2033.

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing black currants, cooked plums, figs, spices, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, herbs and peppercorn.

Nice finish with fine tannins and bitter herbs.

This is a very tasty Shiraz from Australia. Still young and will drink better in 5 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

Big, extracted and rich, with mild complexity.

A nice sipping wine, and good with BBQ Meats too.

Robert Parker 93 points.

100% Shiraz grapes were aged in American oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$30.

This is a big bold wine, very tannic with a long peppery finish at first then smooths out nicely when decanted. Paired great with pasta and red sauce.

Very enjoyable. A full body Syrah with dark crimson colour. Powerful and smooth, a generous wine.

I got this way too cold so best analysis was destroyed. Need to try again at the proper temperature. $20 at the Treasury store.

A bit tight upfront but definitely opened up as time went on. Concentrated dark blue fruit encapsulated by warm vanilla oak. Plenty of acidity and backbone to be tried again in maybe five plus years.
