Very good daily drinker. Absolutely fantastic value and a steal for under $4 a bottle! Initially a little too fruity and sweet, but after some time in the glass this mellowed out. Smooth, bright red fruit but in check with some mocha and a pleasant finish.

Tasty wine and not a fruit bomb but still, rich and fruity. I might buy this again to take to a party. Tested after 18 hrs in a cooler at 50 deg F with cap on. Had a tight nose somewhat closed at this time point with hints of musty chocolately fruit with perhaps berry and even bubblegum or tropical fruit notes. In the mouth quite savory chewy and meat-like in the mid palate with ripe neutrlal to slightly sweet fruit (plum, blue-boysenberry, dark fruit). Finish of pseudo-sweet chocolate-covered dried fruit that fades with reasonable acid in the front middle of the tongue. Dry to off-dry. Body medium plus, acid medium or lower, tannin medium or lower. Good QPR at USD10. And I like the organic/sustainable angle.

Light, soft tannins, moderate acidity. Popped and poured.

Light for an Australian shiraz. Blueberries and easy drinking.
