 Tasted by carjes on 1/5/2013 & rated 90 points: - Ruby color with slow forming legs with a full body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Very nice wine. Smooth with lovely flavours of black cherry and chocolate, without being jammy over overly sweet. (1943 views)
 Tasted by S_Gillett on 10/18/2012 & rated 80 points: Not great wine. Fruity and flat. Not much to it. (2061 views)
 Tasted by jmoskow on 12/27/2011 & rated 86 points: This was a bit more muted than expected. We had it with pizza and it was a bit overpowered. The fruit was there but the white pepper was what most people commented on. (2371 views)
 Tasted by FormerWineSnob on 8/4/2011 & rated 90 points: Very nice Shiraz with a very peppery palate and some fruit and decent aroma. Would buy again. (3129 views)
 Tasted by rosko47 on 4/23/2011 & rated 90 points: Dinner out - steak and lobster - nice fruit, nice tannin, good balAnce but a little too sharp acidic finish for my liking. A nice choice still for 49 in restaurant - not going to get much better in my book (2951 views)
 Tasted by NoseKnows on 2/26/2011 & rated 93 points: Decanted and vinturied straight from cellar. Started drinking a bit too cold but this is a great bottle of wine that could easily be mistaken for a big, jammy Australian shiraz. Deep garnet in the glass. Strawberry jam on the nose. Big and soft in your mouth, more jam and berries with a very smooth, medium length finish. (1418 views)
 Tasted by rosko47 on 12/21/2010: Nice fruit - drank without decanting - nice tannin (1502 views)
