Dry and fleshy. Hint of sour skin. Bubble front, prickle back.

This wine rocked. It might be past peak but this over delivered in terms of drink ability and balance. Wonderful fruit and stunning aromatics just offer a glimpse of one of the best two merlotsbin California but I might be a bit biased. Made by a legend and enjoyed by a law abiding citizen.....i want more. — 10 years ago

Another excellent wine! The Factor here is instead of co-fermented Shiraz/Vionier, this one is a 100% Shiraz. (Like my pun there?)
Anyway, down to brass tax. Pure expression of Shiraz from Barossa - you will be corrected by an Australian citizen if you say it "Bah-roe-ssah".. it is pronounced "Buh-raw-suh". Surprisingly, this wine was more floral in its aromatics than the two co-fermented wines, which I find Viognier brings to the mix. With their wines, smoke is definitely the theme, and with this one also comes aromas of jasmine tea, rosewater, decaying violets, a light tar component, dusty soil, espresso roast, bing cherry, black plum skin, and eucalyptus. The wine is dark, but even looks less rich than the RunRig and Descendant, with more medium plus tannins, and lean structure - over ripe strawberry, tobacco, charred beef, Smokey minerals, leather, black currant, and a textured finish. Beautiful layers to this wine, and less of the fruit forward nuances that a lot of Shiraz tends to have. Like a good Cornas. This wine really is a great reflection of the terrior of Barossa Valley, where there are the oldest Shiraz vines in the world, AND the oldest soils known on planet earth due to the fact that Australia has never seen an ice age, phylloxera, or any vine diseases. — 7 years ago
Dry hopped cider- it's almost like apple beer! The hops come through floral, grassy and lovely with only minimal aggressiveness and a tense bitter/acid balance, dry crisp and lingering complex, herbaceous flavors. Would pair with a citrusy salad, and some quality weed. #hypothetically — 10 years ago

For a 6.8% alcohol content this cider is incredibly smooth. Shot finish. Slightly sweet but also acidic. Possibly made better by good company. I'd drink it again. TWSS. — 10 years ago
