Earthy, with a strong loamy flavor that shoulders past the fruit, finishing with a sour edge. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,200 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Victoria / Pyrenees Select to Add

A decent value in Aussie Shiraz, this is a medium-bodied, rather restrained rendering of the grape, with dark fruit flavors and hints of coffee, smoke, molasses and cracked pepper. Tannins are firm, so give it another couple of years and drink 2013–2018.——J.C.(11/1/2011)—— 88
