3 Wine Guys Rating

Grade:  A-

They say:  

"Made to showcase the unique flavours of Shiraz, the palate tends to be fruit driven but 

balanced and lengthened by the older oak flavours. A sweet mid palate, soft tannins and 

warmth of character have created a wine with both power and finesse..."

We say:  

Wow.  We agree.  Great concentration & density of dark fruit.  Big wine.  

Balanced and structured despite the boldness.  

Recommendation: Buy it.

  Grade: B-

They say:   

"Deep purple/red in colour. The aroma is deep and complex with ripe raspberry, blackberry, 

anise, spice, dark chocolate and vanilla, with subtle hints of mint and earth. The palate is 

multi-layered with silky texture, intense, sweet ripe fruit flavours that are supported by an 

excellent structure and full, long supple savory tannins."

We say:  

Nice balance between fruit & spice.  Oak influence is evident.  

Can you get better under $40?  Yep.

Recommendation: Drink it.  Buy it to try.

Grade: B+

Shiraz with a dash of Viogner ...blackberries, 

lilacs and cassis...Flavors linger on the palate.  

Great wine if a $60 wine is in the budget.  

Recommendation: Buy it and save it for a few years
