Shop Review: On the nose, the 2010 shiraz shows earthy gravel, spicy licorice and dense dark mulberries, while the sweet upfront berry fruit presented on tasting gives way to
complex cedar, earth and spice notes, wrapping up with ample structure and grip. The vibrant, juicy fruit runs the length of the palate and lingers with a “have another glass” finish.

My Review: This wine was earthy and smooth.  I tasted bright berries.  The color of the wine was a deep purplish red.  It was rated 90 points by wine spectator.  I did not have this wine with food.
