Was a little surprised by the lightness of this wine on the first night. It seemed lean and acidic, which made it a fine food partner. By the second night it had opened up a lot, gaining depth and richness. Still had nice acid, and was loaded with flavorful dark fruit. Smoky on the finish.

I am a huge fan of Shiraz and this one is exactly what I expect from an exceptional Shiraz. Smooth full bodied, nice fruity nose, ever so slightly acidic tongue. Long finish.

Strong, full bodied, has flavor and a good finish. Without looking at the label I would have sworn this was a zinfandel. Not great but a nicely done wine.

Fruit forward, peppery finish Hints of clove.. Easy drinking red The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like plum. It tastes like blackberry and red currant. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Needs an hour aeration to really open up. Ripe fruit and hints of oak on palate. Great with BBQ ribs. A nice effort.

A bit tight this early on, on the sharp side. Relaxed a bit after a few hours in the decanter. This will be a fantastic shiraz in a couple of years.

Let it breath for 30 min. Started smooth. Neutral body. I like it with more body. But it's very drinkable for my wife.

It was a good second-bottle-of-the-night wine.
