    Asphalt, licorice and espresso mark the nose of this medium-bodied, juicy Shiraz. The flavors are brighter, hinting at rhubarb, yet still retaining a dark, tarry edge. Drink this mouthwatering wine over the next few years.

  • 200780 pts

    This inexpensive Aussie Shiraz seems to have deteriorated in recent vintages. The 2007 tastes sweet, filled with candied fruit and turning a bit cloying on the finish.

  • 200683 pts

    This cleanly made Shiraz boasts decent aromas and flavors of blackberries, chocolate and earth, but lacks weight on the palate and shows some heat on the finish.
