• Wine critics say this Shiraz is extremely rich and full-bodied with a dark fruit core. It offers aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry. These are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.
• I didn't mind this California Shiraz. The nose offered blackberry notes with a little spice. On the palate, it was quite spicy and peppery but with complementing berry, cherry and chocolate flavors.
• I did not taste with food.
