An amazing effort, even as a young wine, this Shiraz is fruit forward with blackberry and dark currant tones. Shiraz was once my favorite varietal until the Aussie style changed in the late 1990s to a more thick and sweet style. This more restrained wine may bring me back into the Shiraz fold!

Peppery and earthy. Full bodied with a dry finish. Yummy!

2014. Somewhat light, but very smooth with red berry notes, pepper, and pleasant tannins.

Less acidic than many other Shiraz I have tried and really let the full flavor of the wine pull through.

Not a bad red, not familiar with the traits of a Shiraz. Not my preference taste wise for a red.

This is a great Shiraz. Nice mineral flavor with low to medium acidity. Great plum flavors.

I was actually really surprised by this wine, as I am typically not a Shiraz fan.
