Dark ruby to purple robe. Strong nose of plumbs, spice, coffee and chocolate. Robust, taste of tobacco, cocoa and black fruit with well adjusted tannins. Long, fading finish.

Jul 10th, 2015Beautiful maroon color with transparency around the periphery. The nose is most interesting; it has distinct Barossa Valley Shiraz characteristics, but it is also reminiscent of a big Napa cab without the chewiness. Big ripe red fruit, spice, vanilla and cedar. Not much alcohol on the nose. Great mouth feel but more medium bodied. The palate showing some chocolate, vanilla, and tobacco. Not nearly ad fruity as the nose but well balanced. Long even finish. Great value. Really stoked on this one. At $12 I should've gotten a case. 92
