April 26, 2008 - A good drinking Shiraz. Berry notes on the nose and on the tongue. It has good legs in the glass and a peppery finish. I would buy again.

April 20, 2008 - Nice bottle, good QPR.
Deep ruby/purple color, nose has a good balance of fruit and oak and initially what seemed like a light vegetal note. After about an hour that blew off and now there is vanilla, cocoa and coffee aromas.
Nice balance of fruit and oak, nice finish.
