  Maybe it is me, but this was average. Will try again and see if my palate likes this better the second time. Good value for this price point. Has lots of berries, plums, with a fresh sweet ripe tannins, might be a good BBQ wine for this summer.

  Inky colored and opaque with some wall staining and high viscosity (14.7% ABV). The nose of this Shiraz has aromas of ripe blackberry, vanilla, black cherry, baking spice, eucalyptus, violets and bramble berry. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and medium (+) tannins plus a full body. Ripe dark fruit dominates with some eucalyptus and baking spices supporting. Vanilla makes its entrance on the mid palate as well as some rooibos tea. The finish is long with bramble featuring plus some spice. The tannins- they are well integrated and I just realized they are so well balanced. This is a lovely drop that will drink nicely till 2030 and pair with grilled meat, Sunday roast or hearty stews. 91 points and for $20 it's a 5 star effort.
