What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

WS 90, nice bouquet, berries on palate, tannins are firm, but not overbearing, opens up after 30 minutes to reveal a hint of spice, a rather short-medium finnish, well worth the $10

"Smooth and round, with ripe plum, blackberry and dusky spice flavors that just don't quit, lingering on the open-textured finish. Not a big wine, but flavorful and graceful." -Wine Spectator

Fruit bomb! Heavy alcohol on the nose, which smoothed out once the bottle was open for an hour. Smooth drinking with a lucious mouthfeel. Not as thick as I thought it would be. My second foray on the Razor's Edge, and I'm not as pleased as the first bottle.

Not sure why wine spectator raved about this. Yet another dissapointing aussie under $30. Blackberry and dusty spice nose never fully left the rim and seemed more like a fine french dinner wine. Very drinkable nonetheless and subtle underlying fruit complex wanted to burst out - but just could not do it. Forgetable. End of story - $20 for this?
I think not.
