Good fruit, nice body, Pretty fruity up front but then nice long finish. For the price this was a fantastic bottle of wine. Opened and everyone jumped on this wine so I didn't get to see how the wine evolved over a couple hours. Will be buying more

Had this wine with Thanksgiving dinner last night, was fantastic. Good fruit, nice soft finish. The bottle was worth the wait and was fun to open last night

Nice fruit but a bit of alcohol on the finish, not my favorite

Light and fruity with good acidity. This was a nice weekday wine. Nothing too complicated would buy again

Floral on the nose, nice fruit and accidity, nothing overly complex but a great wine especially for the price

Delicious, I really enjoy both the 2002 and the 2003, for my tastes the 2003 has a bit more oak however both are very tasty with great fruit flavors. These are not tota fruit bombs however, they do have a nice layer of acid which really balances out the fruit. I was disappointed that the 2003 went to a screwtop as I still feel it devalues the wine a bit, however the 2003 is every bit as wonderful as the 2002

Some oak on the nose but not in the glass, good mineral qualities, lacking fruit however

Tasty, nice oak good fruit, my guess is this is a blend of Cabernet and Merlot

Very tasty, and great for the price. Nice mix of fruit and tannin, will be interesting to see how this changes over the next couple years

Lots of Acid, needed more time or more air

Interesting, but short on the finish and overall pretty weak

Fruit forward but not overpowering, will try again tomorrow to see how it changes overtime

A little more generic than expected, some good tannin structure

This wine is great on the nose, but a little thin on the tounge, clearly not a new bottle. Some spice on the finish which adds to the wine...overall a nice but not great wine

For a nine dollar wine this is great, however if you are expecting an overlly complex wine this is not it. Think Simple, this is a great light wine and probably unbeatable for the price.

I must say for a very very over the top wine I do love Winner's Tank. This should not be confused in anyway for a Rhone style Syrah, this is full force Australian Shiraz. Tons of fruit but a bit harsh on the finish...this will improve for almost 24 hours when opened.

Deep, powerful, 15% alchohal but not a fruit bomb...much more refined than winners tank...great finish, some tannins but not overpowering. @20$ its a great deal.

Wonderful, had this wine with Peppercorn steak, it complemented it very well and stood up to all the steak could offer.

A wonderful value, not over the top but wonderfully balanced, some tanins but they are very subtle

Over the top fruit, almost like drinking jam...cherry flavors
