This was a wonderful Australian Shiraz. Complex nose with a nice mix of dark fuit and earth from hints of leather and cigar box. Well balanced pallate full of blueberries, açaí berries with well integrated tannins and tertiary flavors of cured meat and sweet tobacco which carry into quite a long finish. Was a great pairing with italian sausage & sage manicotti! ($14) [2/3/18]

Ripe red fruits and a definite spice note at the end. Hint of chocolate too. Medium plus tannins.

Big blueberry notes. Like blueberry pie filling with big violets and light pepper notes. Slightly creamy. Not too hot either at 14.5

savory and gamey. Shiraz that has a lot in common with Syrah, although there is a lot more heat and dense blackberry fruit here than there would be in the Rhone.

2013 vintage. Good typicity and maintains the right amount of freshness. Blackberry, mullberry, blueberry compote, baked black cherry, light note of anise, graphite, black tea leaf. Good value and moderate length.

Tasty and straightforward wine. Would buy for dinner parties or social get togethers.

Unrefined; sour cherry; citrus; leafy.

I would drink it, but I wouldn't order it or purchase again.

Lusty, busty Shiraz with the pretty dark red fruit, neutral oak, and wee bit of camphor that we love from these deceptive little numbers. High acidity, freshness, and complexity.
