What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

The 2006 Shiraz is composed of 46% McLaren Vale, 44% Riverland, and 10% Barossa Valley fruit. It was aged in seasoned French and American oak for 12 months. Opaque purple-colored, it has a nose of cedar, spice box, and blueberry. Fruit-driven, supple-textured, rich, and easygoing, the wine has remarkable class for its giveaway price. It actually has 2-3 years of aging potential but no one that I know is going to defer their gratification. Strong Arms has been bottled with 6 different but similarly themed labels. There are 12,000 cases of this remarkable value. - Wine Advocate

Popped and poured. HUGE nose of dark fruits and pepper. Very spicy on the palate, with over-the-top fruit. Very young and tannic at the moment. Going to let this one breathe for a day and comment again tomorrow. Inital rating: Excellent - 88 points.

Let it breathe for a half hour if you're going to drink it now. I think age will suit this wine well and plan on uncorking more in a couple of years.
