Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Daniel Poudrier rated this wine as 93/100

Holly Bruns rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

An enticing mélange of cherry and dark berry fruit fruit, earth, loads of spice and a little something sweet. The long, fruity finish is silky with some enlivening texture. Start drinking it and you'll just want more.

Aged 18 months in 70% new French oak and 25% new American oak.
An Old World-styled Syrah with New World confidence! From a rich, purple colour in the glass to stewed blackberries, blueberries, black cherries and plums on both the nose and the palate, it’s the spiced elements (many coming from the combination of French and American oak) that give so much character and depth to the wine. Cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, mace and fresh-cracked-peppercorn dust the dark berry fruit perfectly, all held together with well-integrated oak.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
