"This wine is decadent without going over the top, offering attractive aromas and flavors of mocha, black forest cake, brambly raspberry and cola spice. The medium-weight palate boasts slight creaminess and velvety tannins, lifted by ripe fruit flavors and ample acidity. Drink now."

"MAN consistently produces well-made, value-orientated wines and this one's no exception. Dark berries, purple florals and mocha notes all abound in the bouquet. The mouthfeel is full but not fat, with medium acidity that keeps the fruit core center stage. Drink now."

"Smoke and roobios tea dominate the bouquet, with accents of raspberry and cocoa. The mouth is more of the same with soft notes of black plum guts and berry preserves fleshing it out. The texture is like crushed velvet with assertive tannins and structured acidity. Drinkable now, though could age for another year or two."

"A nose of lush blackberry and deep spice leads on this lush but approachable Shiraz. Good structure and a touch of floral finesse adds intrigue, and the finish is lingering but clean. Underlying minerality balances the whole."

"Aromas of ripe berry, cola, anise and herbs invite on the nose, while the wine is bold and juicy on the palate. There's some leather and spice for grip, but in general, it's soft and smooth. The wine loses a little steam at the end, but has a nice balance."

"This purple wine has a brambly quality to the sweet vanilla-and-plum nose. Oak is apparent in the mouth, with dusty vanilla flavors. Simple, with a bit of a weedy quality to the finish. Imported by Vineyard Brands."
