Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Flavorful, with plenty of dark fruit accented by ample toasty oak and good mouthfeel. Has classic tart-sweet Shiraz flavors plus a subtle, complimentary undertone of Cape earthiness. Closes smoothly and smokily.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The tart berry flavors here wear some cinnamon, chocolate and earth accents. Still, they can't rise above stronger bitter notes and sharp tannins.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Oiled leather, cocoa, and red delicious apple aromas work well with the palate of sweet blackberries and cedar. Ripe red plum and anise serve as ample support through to the pepper and blackberry layered finish. This is uncomplicated and fruit-forward.

Aromas of menthol and stewed berry translate to the mouth, with some additional green pepper flavor. This wine’s structure is hollow and flabby, with a sharp, tangy finish. Imported by Great Wines International.
