ratings pedigree (past vintages):
winemaker's notes:

"The 2006 Shiraz is composed of 46% McLaren Vale, 44% Riverland, and 10% Barossa Valley fruit. It was aged in seasoned French and American oak for 12 months. Opaque purple-colored, it has a nose of cedar, spice box, and blueberry. Fruit-driven, supple-textured, rich, and easygoing, the wine has remarkable class for its giveaway price. It actually has 2-3 years of aging potential but no one that I know is going to defer their gratification. Strong Arms has been bottled with 6 different but similarly themed labels."
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Complex, bold, balanced with loads of fruit. Superior value. Another winner from Sparky Marquis.

rating (9/29/2010):
This Shiraz is tasty straightforward representation of this varietal which would be a value at even twice the price.
rating (9/29/2010):
This started off as a fruit bomb that opened into a chocolaty rich wine that was better than many wines much more expensive.

Power needs Power... Pair with powerful foods.

Excellent Shiraz for the price, I love the screw cap system especially for traveling and hotels.
Paul Weiss - New York, NY (read all my reviews)
rating (9/14/2010):
I am continually impressed by many of the value-priced Shiraz and Shiraz blends, and this is a great example. Opens with fruit, spicy in the mid-palate, with a surprisingly long finish and manageable tannins...a value at twice the price. I am very curious to see how it develops in a couple of years, and will save 3 or 4 bottles.

rating (9/29/2010):

This wine has huge flavor and an amazingly long finish. Lots of dark fruit and spice box. Tannins are then, but overall fairly mellow. Can sit for a few more years easily.

rating (9/27/2010):
Excellent flavor from start to finish. This is a re-buy, especially for the price.
rating (9/23/2010):
I choose this wine based upon its rating and brief critique. I was pleasantly surprised that the rating was right on target. I love taste. I plan to purchase additional bottles.
Ronnie Marcum - Blacksburg, VA (read all my reviews)
rating (9/21/2010):
This wine was drinkable but not that good. No way would I give it a 91 rating.
rating (9/20/2010):
For the price, this was a real find - the type to settle down with a glass after a long day! The label made it easy to find a bottle in the rack.
