Good acid and drive with a really intense black olive and herb note. I almost like this wine but there is virtually no tannins. I feel like this is a missed opportunity.

Delicious Shiraz from Australia that you would swear was from the Rhone in France. Juicy raspberry fruit with a touch of anise and herb, and a soft finish. Doesn't linger too long, perfect for beginners to the category!

Legit Syrah. Winemaker printed label in braille as a tribute to his son - class act.

1rst Australian wine I've had in years-restrained, wild blueberry compote but W/o RS. Enjoyable & now want 2 try more Aussie wines

Clean, but lacking any real character. Certainly drinkable, with nothing offensive, but I didn't find anything I liked either.

Smoky earthy hints of tobacco and hints of chocolate with a robust finish

Enjoyed Shiraz, berry foretaste and a bit of cocoa on the finish. Nice profile & depth for the price.
