Fair. Disappointing. Dark purple. Not much on the nose. This has virtually none of the dark cherry, white pepper, licorice flavors and lingering finish that I look for in a shiraz at this price.

Dark garnet with purple hues, it has aromas of sweet Plum, black berry and hints of Spicy oak. Sweet fruits fill the palate with dark plum and blackberry. Soft tannins and rather short finishing. Quaffable but unimpressive mass produced wine.

dark garnet, purple hue, light/pink rim. fruity and spice, good varietal expressing, medium bodied. sweeter palate than the balance level, commercial style.

some varietal characters, light and easy drinking. very simple structure and a little coarse texture. not impressive.

Dark garnet, slight purple hue. Fruity notes driving, riped plum with some spices, powdery light/medium tannins, medium- bodied. a little disjointed.
