80.0/100 OK. This now has a bit more age behind it, so I think it may have improved....a little. Color is dark and inky, even at the rim, quite nice. Nose is rather flat. There really is not a whole lot going on there nasally. First taste impression: It definitely has some dark fruit going on, possibly a little smoke; not much else. It also is lacking in any mid-palate. It goes straight to the finish which last about 10 seconds, if that; taste transitions from a dark, smokey fruit in the beginning to Gonzo Grape Bubbalicious Bubble Gum at the end. Moderate tannins and a slightly bitter "last hurrah". Overall pretty flat and fruity.

Very unimpressive, decent flavor, I liked the dark fruitiness, but brought out a cheap alcoholic taste as well, and also was rather light in mouth feel. Mellowed only slightly after breathing for 45 minutes.

Shiraz Grenache is packed with flavor. The peppery Shiraz complements the upfront raspberry flavors of the Grenache. The two varieties come together in a balanced wine displaying earthy tones, lush raspberries and a touch of spice. - Winery

An easy wine, as sweet and red as warm raspberry jam. Give it a little chill for picnics.

Soft and round, with cherry and fresh orange peel flavors, finishing slightly sweet. Drink now.

Shiraz shows aromas of cracked pepper and spice mingled with vanilla and ripe fruit. The flavors are always ripe and fruity with soft, sweet oak. Aromas of black cherries, raspberry, spice and sweet oak. The palate has ripe flavors of blackberry, dark cherries, hints of pepper and spice. Pair with Italian fare or barbeque.
