"Polished and sleek, with currant and floral flavors on a medium-weight chassis, echoing on the peppery finish. Drink now through 2017. 10,000 cases made. –HS"

"Eucalypt, rhubarb, and boysenberry aromas appear on the nose of the 2016 Shiraz. It's medium to full-bodied, with the supple tannins and crisp acids expected in this sort of wine. Easy to drink and priced for a crowd. - Joe Czerwinski"

"From South Australia's sunshine soaked Limestone Coast, this is a ripe, polished Shiraz that opens with notes of chocolate plum cake, pepper spice, beets and vanillin oak. There's an astringency to the granular tannins, which dries the mouth out, but the fruit is there, too. A bit more personality than most in its price range. - CHRISTINA PICKARD"

"Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of leather, blood orange and black cherry, dusty earth, and irises and sanguine with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a warming, engaging, medium-length finish revealing impressions of black pepper dusted black berries and red cherries, leather and black tea, teriyaki peppered jerky, and bbq salmon with medium, chewy tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. An Australian Shiraz with some funky and interesting Southern Rhone vibes."
