Great wine, one of my dads favorites. It was on sale for $15.

Blend of Shiraz (77%), Cabernet Sauvignon (16%) and Merlot (7%). Deep purple core with a lighter ruby rim. Aromas of cooked blueberries, plums and dark chocolate. Same fruits on the palate with additional spicy notes of black pepper and black licorice. Long and fruity finish. Creamy texture with soft and velvety tannins. The acidity is still quite lively. Medium-plus body. Aged beautifully. Thanks for the gift, Petey!

Yep, the label on the tin is pretty much spot on. Unapologetic ballsy Barossa red. It’s had a few years to settle down and it pretty decent drinking.

Big, bold, dry, but not suck-your-mouth-dry dry. Perfect for a post-work meal, as the main course; accompaniment: a freshly-filled Nalgene.

The Big Kahuna! Heady, bold, complex, smooth, lasting finish. Coffee and berry packed intensity.

Full of flavor; went well with stuffed shells in marinara sauce.

Lot of mid pallet tannin depth. Red fruit. Very young. Will improve with age.

$14. Great bold rich wine but not enough to hit your G spot. Extra points for the cool name. Minus points for screw cap. Should decant for 32.6 minutes before drinking.
