Inky purple color, with aromas of dark fruit and pepper on the nose. Fruit forward and medium to full bodied. The palate features notes of dark cherry, blackberry, blueberry, black plum, licorice, oak, clove, and spices. Paired well with grilled skirt steak. Drink now.

Not bad, not good. Fruit opened up with a decant - mostly blueberry with some residual sugar. Not much fruit on the nose with floral and oak scents. Finish seems to linger for me a bit more than others have noted, but after a few sips, it sort of lingers in viscous, sugary way. Pretty high acid which makes me think it would have been better with food.

Inky purple color. Muted fruit. Short finish. Slight hint of petrol on the palate. Short finish. Agree with others too much acidity.
91 Vinous...I don't get it. Honestly there are better entry level Shiraz at this price point. Pass.
