ratings pedigree (past vintages):
red wine style:
Light & Fruity Smooth & Supple Earthy & Spicy Big & Bold
winemaker's notes:

Not your blockbuster warm-climate Aussie Shiraz, this is a more elegant example reminiscent of violets, pink peppercorns, nutmaeg and caramelized quince and mulberries. The palate is likewise restrained, offering fruit compote with slightly meaty undertones.

critical acclaim:

"Effusively peppery, with tremendous black and white pepper aromas that lace through the vigorous blackberry, currant and floral flavors, finishing with impressive vibrancy and length. Best from 2009 through 2016."

Wine Spectator

"Saturated ruby. Black raspberry and baking spices on the nose. Tangy, sharply focused red fruit flavors are pinot-like in their vivacity; surprisingly light in body, with impressive mineral lift and cut. Clean and brisk on the finish, leaving behind a refreshing trail of tangy red fruit. Very fresh for a wine based on shiraz."

Very smooth, fresh, vibrant and a nice sour cherry flavor profile..interesting...didn't get the typical pepper as with most Shiraz....perhaps will appear tomorrow nite...Certainly a bargain at $10.99 no matter what the flavor profile! Enjoy!
