Never heard of this producer/wine, so gave it a shot.
PnP, but definitely needs a lengthy decant. Dark purple color. Nose and palate are dominated by dark fruit - blackberries, plums, prunes. Velvet texture on the palate. Medium plus depth and alcohol is definitely too present. Wouldn’t guess US if having blind, as it’s more Aussie Shiraz or Portuguese or Northern Rhone. If market prices are right, this was a good restaurant value buy but not my style.
