  At less than $6, it's hard to beat. For an everyday drinking wine, it's enjoyable. The basic Shiraz elements are there; however, it is simple, thin, unfocused, and a bit sweeter than my higher rated wines. -85 points-

  Popped and poured, drank over 2 evenings. The wife came home from the grocery store with 5 bottles for a party so I threw the remaining bottles in the callar for few years to see what happens. Still a fruit bomb. Flavors are muddled and somewhat artificial but not offensive. Body is somewhat flabby. Started to show oxidation on the 2nd evening.
  
  Overall nothing bad here but nothing very interesting either. No surprises. I'm certain the short term cellaring did help out here.

  Smooth sweet taste, very easy finish, light tannins, sweet berries, not oaky

  This one was sitting for about a year in my cellar and I was quite surprised with it. Usually these are a mid 80s type of wine but this one had so much flavour. Deep reds, nice and dry. A great mid-week wine :)

  Good table wine, lots of fruit, a little overbearing, but good for the price.
