  Red berries, rose hips and herbs and spices in the bouquet. On the palate juicy and friendly red berries, herbs and medium but fresh acidity, same goes for the tannin. Raspberries, cherries and some slightly green impressions and drying in the finish.

  Aussie Tasting (Minneapolis, MN): For less than the D Block wines this is far superior. Cooler climate Shiraz with floral, white pepper, minerals and earth. Medium finish and balance wine.

  Day 1: Excellent again with white pepper, bramble, blackberries, raspberries, minerals, smoked meats and gravel. This is a tremendous find for under $30. 92 points
  Day 2: Better on day 2. More expressive and shows white pepper, bramble, smoked meats, gravel, dark fruits and spices. Medium plus finish. This is super balanced and not hot like some of the Aussie wines. Excellent value with shipping under $30. 93 points
  Recommendation: A must buy from Winebuyer.com for under $30.
