Think Quizno's: toasty. Vanilla and dill notes completely submerge the black cherry fruit, yet there's still a plump, round character to this wine. Not sure how or if the oak will ever integrate with the fruit, so enjoy it young for its lusty wood.——J.C.(11/1/2009)—— 85

This is a very classy Shiraz with aromas of clay and earth, and crisp plum and cherry fruit at its core. It’s not a broad wine, yet it really does leave a powerful impression on the palate. Medium-sized and Old World in style; drink after 2008. Imported by Davies & Co. ——D.T.(4/1/2006)—— 91
