A solid Shiraz at a reasonable price. The wine starts with aromas of allspice, blackberry and vanilla, then is followed by smooth, integrated flavors of blackberry fruit and wooded spice. A good balance of fruit and acid, with firm but elegant tannins. ——S.K.(11/15/2008)—— 87

The nose on this is built of delicate cherry and red plum fruit with accents of light brown sugar and breadiness. The palate of the same cherry fruit is wrapped in endive, toast and dry herbs. —K.F. ——K.F.(4/1/2003)—— 85
