 Tasted by Skully on 12/11/2008 & rated 80 points: Brought this last month to a Christmas Party since we had 3 liters of it. Let's just say it's a good everyday drinker. Nothing special but pleasant to drink. (1909 views)
 Tasted by BonnieM on 10/9/2005: Bottle has one of those funny "you can recork it plastic cork" thingies, maybe called a zork or some such thing. Anyway, no nose to speak of but plenty of dark fruit and spice to make for an easy drinking, fun wine. At $11 I would buy it again. Michael used it in the pasta red sauce and it added a nice zip. I would also say this is a wine that needs food, not one just for sipping. Was nice not to notice the alcohol which was a moderate 13.8% (IMO) given the current trend for Aussie wines to be 14+).
