Spicy wine, layering wood and rich black fruits, this is densely structured while still fruity. It is finely balanced, the acidity keeping a refreshing character. Although the wine is called Shiraz, as in Australia, in fact it has more to do with a Rhone Syrah. ——R.V.(11/1/2011)—— 89

A big textured, smooth wine, sweet fruits with firm tannins finished with dark perfumes. It is a blockbuster, thankfully without high alcohol, balanced in its richness. A barbecue wine, ready to drink now. ——R.V.(12/15/2010)—— 89
