Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A gorgeous Shiraz, big and bold in the glass, and lots of big flavors in the mouth. Dark plums, spice, pepper and a hint of oak make this a great wine with a steak or grilled meats.
Mark rated this wine as 90/100
The 2010 Grand Reserve Shiraz is intense and forward offering up aromas of dark fruit, chocolate and spice. Round and lush on the palate, the fruit from the nose carries through. The finish is long lasting with notes of cherry and coffee beans.
