2015 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/19/2015-10/27/2015 (New York City, NY): Opaque crimson in color, this wine is surpisingly approachable despite its substantial extraction. Dark bramble fruits, minerals, black cherry, rosemary and violets are softly presented with low acidity, medium sweet tannins and nicely integrated alcohol (listed as 14.5%). Solid in the middle and closing with a round, medium-length finish, this is an underpriced wine which should be on the radar of those who enjoy Aussie Shiraz. It should drink nicely over the next 5-7 years. Drink now-2022.

Been looking for a Shiraz like this for a while! At $12, this is an excellent 90pt example of a shiraz. Full of dark fruit, black pepper and spices, with a good finish ... BUT ... not overextracted like a lot of the fruit bombs these days. A real pleasure to drink. Great with grilled meats.
