The Viognier makes this taste quite different than other Aussie Shiraz. Can't put my finger on it yet!

Black cherry, blackberry, and spice. Almost an almond character on the nose along with the vanilla aroma the oak provides. Good balance overall; medium acid and medium+ alcohol. Medium-long finish. Would benefit from an hour or so of decanting; all I could taste for the first few minutes was oak, which isn't wholly unpleasant, but it made the wine seem kind of monotone at first.

The Viognier has an interesting effect; adds some fruit and smooths out the Shiraz a bit. Wonderful fruit from the red side as well. Great sharp Shiraz that finishes nicely!

Only 4% Viognier, so don't freak out. This is a good Shiraz. Great value at Wegmans!

Lots of dark fruit. Round tannins. A little jammy but not overpowering. Pretty big.
