Light bodied with a mushroom earthiness, cherry, vanilla and spice. Great length. It paired excellent with my Christmas turkey and all the fixings. About $40/bottle. — 10 years ago

Great Shiraz from Barossa with great ageing potential. Big core and good tannins, with a floral, spicy, and botanical nose. The pallet exhibits dark vibrant raspberries, black pepper, bay leaf, burnt espresso bean, and silver dollar eucalyptus toward the lingering finish. I still find the RWT to be more my style, in comparison to this beimg more lean in structure and spicy in character. It was a bit less extracted which for some is preferable, but every so often I enjoy more of a rich extracted style of wine. Overall, great effort and I would like to see this one in a few more years.

Cheers!

Just over ice with a twist of lemon or orange. Pretty citrus and spice notes. Too bad there was so little made. Makes me wish I had a bigger bottle! — 10 years ago

Lovely (though not $100 lovely) the tannins on this are still pretty burly for a 9 year old wine. It's got some guts, no doubt about that. I will say there is a remarkable consistency in the mouthfeel of the Winesmith wines. They have heft but are never harsh. The tannins range from "melty" (using Clark's terminology here - I would put the Planet Pluto posted earlier in this category) to "firm" (this wine). Yet there is a family resemblance. They're certainly well made. — 11 years ago

Smoky/spicy nose. Just enough acidity to cut back the fruit. One of my favourite pinots so far. — 10 years ago

I'm quite satisfied with this wine. The smooth combination of fresh fruit flavorers, enhanced by seasoned plums and a hint of passion fruit, help to create a wine that can be enjoyed at many different types of social gatherings. All in all I am suitably impressed with this Shiraz. — 11 years ago

Incredibly delicious. Cherry and raspberry, with undertones of roasted, almost burnt apple that provide a lot of the interest. — 12 years ago
