From random blog:
As I was doing my "photoshoot" for this blog, I opened the wine to pour into our two glasses and went to work shooting some pix. The entire dining room filled with this wonderful, strong fruit scent while I took shots. I started salivating anticipating what the wine would taste like. The color was really dark purple - almost like ink.
The taste was bitter first and tasted a bit like Robitussin cough syrup, then very spicy and peppery and dry. Slight fruit with a short finish ended it.
I was disappointed based on how wonderful the initial room-filling aroma was. The taste didn't hold up to what I smelled. It definitely tasted better after having sat open for half an hour. It's a good wine for the price and would probably do best as a drinkable one to have on hand for casual entertaining. I bet it is a wine that will definitely improve with age. peppery nose. tastes of bright cherrys. unimpressive. - 03/30/2008

Tasting Notes & Comments
peppery nose. tastes of bright cherrys. unimpressive. - 03/30/2008
Deep crimson in color with flavors of fresh-picked, ripe red berries. Smooth oak combines with a touch of spice for a spectacular Shiraz." Rigorous parcel selection." Grapes picked at optimum ripeness." Destemming and crushing on arrival at the winery." Fermentation of the fruit for about one week, with pumping over twice daily." At the end of the alcoholic fermentation some of the wine is put into barrel to complete its malolactic fermentation." Raised for 4 months in barrel and tank." Ideal with grilled red meat, lamb, spicy foods and full bodied cheeses.
