  Average Shiraz. Price is super fair as you get good production quality but besides dark cherry, plum and dark chocolate plus a bit of spiciness on the finish, the wine is too monodimensional and not structured and refreshing enough, it is just not elegant which is fair for the price.

  Enjoyable, although only a shadow of the much more expressive and nuanced Y series Shiraz/Viognier I recently tried. This has some good dark fruit for sure, a little vague, maybe plum, and a slightly smoky tone that didn't jive as well (thankfully mostly in the background.) I liked the bloom of fruit on the palate, even if it could use a bit more acidic pop. Feels like too much oak for the grape quality. Still, I've had far worse and I liked this more than their Scribbler Cab, which was harsh and reductive.

  Plums, roasted and rich, but not overly sweet. Some spice and dried herbs on the end. Really works well at the $14 price point.
