- Crimsom color - Very nice blend of Shiraz and Merlot, good acidity, smooth on mid-palatte, structure fair but not great and little tannins if at all. All in all very smooth, easy drinking, pleasant surprise.

The Syrah lends aromas of blueberry, violets and earth to this well-structured blend, while Merlot contributes black cherry and cassis to the mid-palate; soft tannins and flavors of plum, oak and chocolate round out the finish.

drank a bottle with pizza and cigars with the boys playing pool. good accompaniment for that setting. smooth and pleasant, but not a wine to make the showpiece of the evening.

Wasn't as pleased with this as I expected. The syrah component was very strong for me. But while there was good fruit, I found this wine rather angular. There was no softness or lushness to the wine.
