Smooth and sophisticated, this is a Shiraz without the jam, with fruit-forward flavors of blueberry and red currant.

Oaky and perfectly well balanced tannins. Very surprising strong, long-lasting finish. The color is a DARK plum purple. It reminds me of a matured merlot. Very surprising Syrah. Vanilla and bright tobacco dominant this wine! Cheers!

Smooth, but distinct oak and tannins. Nice lingering spice on the finish.
