  This wine is over extracted and lacks body that you would expect from a shiraz. It's inexpensive, and delivers on the price point - just don't like the koolaid sugar flavors that this does deliver.

  Colour Depth very dark with some lively violet and purple tints, quite refreshing meduim body with a neduim length finish, this wine seemed quite defined to me without a huge intensity. I would recomend this wone to anyone as on easy drinking quality wone.
  I thought there was a little plum with tobacco to give a nice dry finish with an overall rating towards Suave. It is very very good value for $10

  Inky purple/black; blackberries, chocolate, black cherries; berry, jammy, medium-full body, decent acidity, ripe noticeable tannins, lingering finish.
  Straightforward, jammy Aussie shiraz without overt spiciness. Good.
