91POINTS Wine Enthusiast

This is a spice-driven Shiraz, powered by peppery, savory notes that keep the rich blueberry fruit flavors moving across the palate. Tannins are ripe, imparting a creamy texture in the mouth, while the finish shows flourishes of dusty earth and spice. Drink now–2014 or beyond.
