There are some attractive dried-spice notes built into this wine, but on the whole it’s dominated by confected, jammy berry fruit. The texture is slightly syrupy, and the wine finishes soft. Despite the impressive moniker, it’s an easy, entry-level Shiraz for the casual drinker.——J.C.(8/1/2009)—— 84
