Bottle @ home, picked up for $8.99. Pours a dark violet purple appearance with long lasting legs. Some smoke in the nose. A little char and some chocolate. Black currant and blackberry aromas. A but below medium body. Slightly woody, charred flavor. Lots of dark grapes and plums. A touch sweet. Pretty good complexity. Nice finish and fruity aftertaste. A touch of prunes. Solid buy at the price.

A stronger-medium-bodied shiraz, with little nose, and plum, oak and some pepper on the palate. Fair length. Relatively soft, smooth, balanced acidity.
From the tasting note assistant: The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like plum, oak and black pepper. It tastes like plum, oak and black pepper. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

This plays so far above its price range ... it's a wonderful, easy-drinking wine with no major flaws, full of fruit and spicy-cola notes. A great "oh, it's the weekend, why not one more glass/bottle ..." choice. :-)

Surprising quality for the price. A very pleasant Shiraz with deep purple color and spicy nose. Very little tannin, good attack and midpalate. Very pleasant drinker. Drink now. Not for cellaring.

Smells and tastes as it should, nothing more. Quaffable. 84-85.
