This is a wonderful QPR wine, it was very dark purple, concentrated with complex fruit, oak and spice notes on the nose, it was very smooth with a memorable finish, very good (90 Points).

Deep purple in color, big and bold nose. Lots of dark chocolate with some raspberry on the palette. Nothing subtle or delicate about this wine. I like it because it is different from just a standard shiraz. Would probably be good with heavy food.

Inky purple in color. Dark fruity aroma, with a bit of leather on the nose. Rather acidic with notes of plum and spice typical of the shiraz. Ends with a long finish. Not really all that exciting.

RUSSK Full-bodied. Slightly bitter in the finish (85%Shiraz). Starts off interesting, but doesn't reallycome together in the end.

Dark color hints at the dark berry flavors. Fairly dry, not too big. All in all a very good wine and a great value in the $9 - $12 range.

Dark chocolate and raspberry. Good, but not amazing.

Very nice. Drank this after a cab, so it was a bit of a shock. But, it really held up well and offered some good complexity of fruit and chocolate.

Wine Tasting - Zinfandel vs. Shiraz vs. Primitivo; 3/10/2007-3/11/2007 (My Place): Pomegranate nose, color nice thick strawberry, dark and fruity. Taste harmless, fruity, strawberry. Somewhat harmless nad uninteresting.

Juicy, with lively red fruits and mouth watering acidity. A fun wine, without the seriousness of the big ole bins that Penfolds' produces... High 80's

By the glass at a wine bar. Dense fruit. The Mourvedre gives the Shiraz a nice sturcture and dryness. Good.

Bright Purple-Red colour, nose with intense alcohol and hints of dark choc. Fruity, spice mid palate. Smooth but dry finishing.

Purplish red color with medium-light body. Black cherry and raspberry aromas with black cherry, vanilla, and raspberry flavors. Short finish.
