Very nice wine. Full bodied. Hints of pepper and currants. Smooth start with a peppery finish. Very nice with a ribeye. $22 at liquor store.

Simple. Not a lot of depth.
Feels a bit hot at 14.5% to hide lack of structure. Short finish. Bland once it leaves the palate.
At $25cdn retail it's a bit expensive. Wholesale is $14.65cdn. Buy at $18 not much more.
Not very jammy for a reserve Shiraz. Easy to drink once opened for an hour. Plunk. After 2.5hours fairly smooth. But still flat finish and no flavour. Have with some meat to benefit from the acid.

2014 vintage, was on special for $19 and very good, will improve with cellaring for a couple more years. Decent tannic finish, will buy again.

Ok, but not fabulous. The overall taste was quite strong and fruity. Not much aftertaste.
