color....dark and a touch cloudy as if unfiltered. Nose....currants, black fruit, spice, and oak. Taste...wow! Beautifully dark in fruit with incredible balance and follow through. This is without a doubt one of the finest $14 bottles of wine I've had in 25 years of drinking wine. If I had spent $40 I'd still be excited. Sorry guys but I have to score this in the 90s.. If you can find it (bought mine at Costco) go load up the car.

Color....Garnet and not inky as the write ups suggest. possibly even a bit thin in depth. Nose....pepper, beef jerky, pickles, and fairly strong...albeit pleasant. Tatse...citrus, tart, highly acidic, no real depth, but a long finish.
In its piece parts not very impressive but not undrinkable and it has its merits. For those whose like Garnacha or lighter reds this may actually work for you.
If you are into big over extracted wines full of fruit then avoid as this wine requires some mental processing to enjoy its flavors. Its a good $8 table wine.

Meat, spice, and lots of pepper. A decent Shiraz but not with the heavy fruit that many of today's Shiraz's have. All in all a decent wine.....prefer with lamb.
