  great - 5/6/2009
I would buy this wine again
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.

  WOW - 3/20/2009
I would buy this wine again
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.

  Drinkable but nothing more - 3/17/2009
I would not buy this wine again
This wine was drinkable but not that good. No way would I give it a 91 rating.

  Definite value - 12/25/2008
I would buy this wine again
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.

  Outstanding Value - 9/3/2008

I would buy this wine again
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.

I would buy this wine again
This started off as a fruit bomb that opened into a chocolaty rich wine that was better than many wines much more expensive.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
