1/16/2018 - txwharfrat Likes this wine: 81 pointsDeep purple color, medium body, and nice legs in the glass. Strong fruit aromas with an initial burst of plums and blackberries. Slight smoke flavor with a lingering cherry taste on the finish. Balanced, and very drinkable, but ultimately a little flat-to-medium. Not a bad value for the price point. |

5/31/2014 - adnielsen wrote: 78 pointsBottle @ home, picked up for $10.99. Pours a clear plum purple appearance with long legs. Blackberry, plum, red fruity aroma that's slightly spicy albeit kind of dull. Medium body. A little syrupy. Kind of jammy. Slight minty flavor with some dark berry notes and plums. Kind of boring but not unappetizing. Spicy, herbal aftertaste. Ok. |

It just has lost its structure. Still a nice glass of wine that we paired with lamb short chops. My bad for letting it sleep too long... |

4/4/2012 - TGCRequiem wrote: 87 pointsVery good. Despite the drinking window listed I thought this wine was still well within its prime. Very fruit forward with almost a jammy taste. Not as big at first taste but almost finished like a cabernet sauvignon. |

6/25/2011 - Mike Kopanski wrote: 86 pointsPopped the cork, and almost filled the kitchen with the vanilla aroma of too much oak, and at this price, probably not from barrels. So, decant with big splash, splash in a glass full, heavy swirl and voila! transformation into something drinkable. When we buy anything with Shiraz on the label, we expect a big fruit forward, high alcohol wine that is almost black. No surprises here, we expected fruit, we got it. There is blackberry from the lips to the stomach. Probably too much brown sugar taste on the roof of the mouth. Vanilla everywhere, but it not really hurting anything. Just barely enough acid to hold things together. Tannins? As Joel has always insisted, "No Wimpy Wines" |
