 Tasted by zzken on 1/27/2021: This is a great wine at this price point. (828 views)
 Tasted by LaGardere on 6/4/2020 & rated 87 points: Too sweet for my taste (the sweetest Shiraz I've ever had). The sugary fruitiness so predominates that the usual Shiraz notes of green and black pepper are not discernible (if they were ever present). Not a bad wine - there's obvious quality in the grapes - but the sweetness is way too much. If you are not a red wine person "because they're too dry" try this one. (891 views)
 Tasted by Themanofsteele on 3/23/2020 & rated 80 points: Not terrible. Not good. (977 views)

 Tasted by sdwineguru on 6/18/2018 & rated 88 points: $14 S. Australian Shiraz '15 Layer Cake $14. Mid-dark garnet; prune, pepper, black fruit nose; mid-big body; semi-chewy; decent flavor; some varietal characteristics; long hot (14.5 alc.) finish. Burger, pizza, BBQ, rib, beach party wine. (1761 views)
 Tasted by Breukelman on 2/20/2018 & rated 90 points: One of Laura's favourite wines. She initially found this when visiting Michigan and came home with a few bottles. Consumed with meats and cheese. (1839 views)
 Tasted by Epic Tale on 12/10/2017 & rated 89 points: (Day 1) - color: dark velvet purple; nose: oak and cherry vanilla; taste: full-bodied mouthfeel, soft red fruit taste w/mild cola notes, medium-length finish with notes of black pepper, lots of gum-sucking tannins; overall: vivacious roll-in-the-hay fruit bomb...if that's your style (and, for me, it usually is), fully ready to drink as of December 2017, very good QPR ($11.60/bottle at Costco), should pair great with burgers or marinated flank steak (2558 views)
 Tasted by tmiusa on 11/28/2017 & rated 88 points: Taste like blueberry cheesecake. Full bodied dark with ripe dark fruits; a sweetness but not overly if you enjoy the style. Pair with charred steak, spicy foods and dark chocolate. Very well-made no need to buy Two Left Feet when you can get this for around 12 bucks! Salute (1317 views)
 Tasted by denartcar on 7/3/2017 & rated 89 points: Very good with steak outside on picnic table. Round mellow taste. Was ready to be drunk. (1776 views)
