Start with about an hour in the decanter, and then just bury your nose in the glass and take in all of the aroma of this Shiraz-Viognier blend. Just wonderful fruit and floral combination with some smoke and leather to round it out.

Flavor is fabulous blend of big complex fruits and a nice long finish with a great balance. Seek this one out.

Sour cherry & raspberry on the nose, with a little vanilla, & alcohol. Big jammy red fruit on the palate, with some toffee/chocolate on the finish...fine vino!

Dark purple color. Raspberry, chocolate with hints of tobacco and a tiny bit of pear/pineapple on the nose - very nice. Medium bodied. Earthy taste with dark fruit and a little pepper on the finish. A little disjointed, a little young. Was excellent with hot pastrami sandwiches.
