Wants to please me but don't know how. Showy, a bit flawed, sweet-side pop wine. Skip it.

Hey fellow whinos, excellent full flavored Shiraz at a great price for a limited time, this vintage is fantastic now but cellar for a couple of years and you will be amazed !

A little sweet, which I typically don't like. This was good though

$21.95, Dry, enjoyable, serve with food vs. Sipping wine.

Gave it a 3 1/4 out of 5 while girlfriend rated it 4. Maybe more expectations were overly elevated by awards on the label, but I'd try it again.

Rich and spicy gets feisty; succulent beef, mushroom and unsweetened blackberry. Medium reds go down nicely. Be sure to aerate thoroughly.

This was delightful and went down far too easily. Should have gotten two! :)
