"Also outstanding, is the 2010 Shiraz Shotfire. The good news is that there are 15,000 cases of it and discounters will offer it at less than $20 a bottle. Dark ruby/purple, with notes of roasted coconut, graphite, damp earth, blackberry and cassis, this perfumed wine hits the palate with a thunderous richness from the glycerin and dense fruit. Quite sexy, stunning, with some structured tannin in the finish, this wine should drink well for another 5-7 years."

"An excellent value, the 2010 Shotfire Shiraz offers bold, punched-up cherry-berry fruit framed by hints of vanilla, dried herbs and cracked pepper. It?s a big wine that?s reasonably creamy in texture, with plenty of mouthcoating flavor on the finish. Drink it over the next few years."
"Smooth, polished and open-textured, with a violet note weaving through the plum and blackberry flavors, lingering easily. Drink now through 2018. 20,000 cases made. - HS"
"Fresh and tangy, with lively acidity set against juicy currant and guava flavors, lingering gently. Drink now through 2016. 20,000 cases made. - HS"
