"Generous, with black pepper, paprika and black tea notes to the plump cherry and plum flavors at the core. Stylish and aromatic through the long, expressive finish, where the tannins firm up slightly."

"As one would expect from the sunny, Mediterranean climes of McLaren Vale, this isn't a shy Shiraz. But its robustness and concentration—with notes of plump plum, cassis, mint, ground pepper and chocolaty oak—is neatly balanced by beautifully textured tannins. Well-balanced with surprising finesse for its price point, it never veers into syrupy or cooked territory." -Christina Pickard
