Black cherry, blackberry, and spice. Almost an almond character on the nose along with the vanilla aroma the oak provides. Good balance overall; medium acid and medium+ alcohol. Medium-long finish. Would benefit from an hour or so of decanting; all I could taste for the first few minutes was oak, which isn't wholly unpleasant, but it made the wine seem kind of monotone at first.

The Viognier has an interesting effect; adds some fruit and smooths out the Shiraz a bit. Wonderful fruit from the red side as well. Great sharp Shiraz that finishes nicely!
