Winery review: 87 – Robert Parker
This red wine is a well above average effort with lots of flavor as well as Australia's so easily obtainable, lush fruit. The 2013 Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively) exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue along with a layered, peppery, berry fruit-scented nose revealing licorice and meaty notes. From a much lighter vintage, it is a supple, easygoing red to enjoy now and over the next several years.

My review: Was a very spicy smelling wine with just a deep red wine smell like a damp musk cave. It was a dry wine that really got into your nose when smelling it. It tasted like dirty old grass. Would be a good glass of wine to drink after a couple of glasses.

Did not have food with wine.
