Wine Critic Review - Robert Parker - 87 points
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's a supple, easygoing red to enjoy now and over the next several years.
My Review - I smelled cherries, dark berries and a pepper/licorice hint at the end. It also had a deep earthiness smell to it too. I thought it tasted like pepper with a strong spicy palate, followed by an enjoyable tang which left a really good finish. I did not try this wine with food.
