I am no wine snob and tend to go for offers - this was on offer and as good as many of the aussie equivalents - no prob with repeat purchase

This review is for the 2011 vintage

Good rich colour and aromatic nose. All the traditional spicy flavours are in here. Fairly long in the mouth - a nice wine and priced well.

This review is for the 2011 vintage

The headline price before discount suggested a quality wine but it isn't - at least according to my tastes. A bland almost tasteless wine which probably had the guts taken out of it during a multitude of processes. I would not purchase this wine again.

Great wine for the price. Smooth and refined a really well made Shiraz. I liked it so much I immediately bought two more cases.
