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: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

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:

Winner of a Gold Medal at the 2009 Dallas Morning News Wine Competition. The name Toasted Head refers to the barrels in which this wine is aged. Common practice is to char only the barrel walls, but in this case the heads are toasted too which imparts a more rich, toasty character to the wine. This Shiraz offers bountiful black cherry flavours with nicely integrated notes of cocoa and cedar. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
