Deep purple in color. Ripe cassis and black plum fruits on the nose with violets. Varietal fruit-driven palate, with cassis and dark berryfruit and spice flavors. Soft tannins compliment the fruit with mouth-filling generous finish.
"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"

"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"

"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"

"Deep garnet purple color. Bold aromas of menthol lozenge, chocolate, nougat, honey, blueberry pie and peppercorns with a supple, vibrant fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body and a long, pure spicy berry and sandalwood accented finish. A fun, flashy bbq wine."

"Smooth and generous, with a gentle, plush push of raspberry, cherry and mocha flavors, which persist nicely on the finish. Drink now through 2015. 4,000 cases made. HS"
