June 7, 2013 - Color is medium to dark red. Scents are blackberries, blueberries and red fruits, quite lush. Tastes are consistent with scents, with good balance. Not overpowering fruit, nor too much acidity; instead, a nice even mellow wine, for an Aussie Shiraz.

April 13, 2012 - I had bought a six pack of this wine a few years ago and enjoyed the first few bottles but the second to last one didn't sit too well with me...it was all the things I don't like about Shiraz...so I kind of put the last bottle aside and was contemplating whether to give it away or what. Well, I opened it tonight and really enjoyed it...rich flavors, not overly fruity or syrupy...for the money a very nice bottle of wine.
