Shiraz = syrah, apparently. Incredible footwork bringing this doll from Australia, packs quite an earthy, gritty punch with a full-body blow complement that’ll bring you to your knees faster than you can say “million dollar baby” — 7 years ago

Killer fruit, Hawiian Punch... easy to guzzle, but something to contemplate. — 8 years ago

Isn’t quite as full-bodied as I had expected. Decent wine. Just doesn’t quite pack the punch I was after. — 8 years ago

I'm so impressed by the complexity in this for such a young wine. How often do you hear CA syrahs being compared to N. Rhone? Way too much right? Well, how many CA syrahs out there are cold climate, coming in at 12.0%, and bringing the funk? This starts interesting with a soft fruit nod and then ends with an earthy funk punch. Could potentially be a dead ringer for a fine St. Joseph with another 7-8 years. — 9 years ago

Quiet beast. On the nose, you think it's going to punch you in the face like a 1999s Mike Tyson jab... once you actually try the wine, it's equivalent to Michaelangelo's sculpture of David: masterpiece. Soft. Velvety. Memorable. — 9 years ago

Just bottled. 2014 silencieux is singing right now. This needs to develop and become more expressive. More viscosity/punch than silenciuex but not quite complex enough right now with the tannins. — 9 years ago

From the wayback machine. Left off where we started! Still packing punch. Tannins still present. Blackberry, effervescent, currents of eucalyptus, lavender and tea bag spices. Can Franc shining through. — 7 years ago

Gorgeous fruity gamay that packs a punch above its weight, smooth and hedonistic. — 7 years ago

A smooth, full bodied, and easy to drink. It has that surprising punch of a whisky but not offensive or aggressive as a whisky. — 8 years ago

The $50 mystery case train rolls on. Best Hundy we ever spent on wine. I paid <$5 for this wine and can’t find it online for less than $52. Committed to not looking these wines up before popping the cork. Merlot dominant, whole cluster in Demi’s that are turned every 4 hours for 6 months in lieu of punch downs or pump overs. Good stuff. — 8 years ago

Love love love. This is a wonderful, easy drinking, no food necessary wine. Super juicy, like fruit punch. Subtle funk to it. Not tannic, medium acid. Great price point. — 9 years ago

Mid to light weight but packs a punch with intense red fruit and savory elements. A little earthiness on the nose is a nod to the Old World. Tasty (and flexible) with the various dishes enjoyed this evening. — 9 years ago

Beautiful, smoooooth medium body Brunello with lots of flavour with no big punch in the mouth and no alcohol burn. Well done :-) — 9 years ago

This is the second bottle we had in the last few month and the 2014 is showing well. If you know the secret code found on the label you can see that the juice came from the Rutherford area. While not a powerful wine, it has substantial typical characteristics of a valley floor Napa Cab. Very enjoyable now and for at least a couple more years. Fine effort. — 7 years ago

I would love to retaste these Charles Perez Bergerie wines. They pack a serious punch of blood, bacon fat, olive, and red fruit. — 8 years ago

Very agreeable. Packs a punch but soft on the palette and goes with different dishes. A little tannin but not too much. Inky. — 8 years ago

Great full mouth feel and not the usual berry punch that Barossa sometimes displays. Some lovely savoury notes and a long finish from this McLaren Vale beauty. — 8 years ago

Too too young. Packs a "fruit punch" — 9 years ago

Open the cigar box and breathe it in. This has a hint of licorice and packs a powerful punch. Loved it 15 years after purchase — 9 years ago
