Deep ruby; pronounced intensity aromas of black plum, black cherry, tart blackberry, mushroom, earth, new leather; dry, medium acid, medium ripe round tannins, high alcohol, full body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; medium plus finish, tons of the funky mushroom and leather on finish, acid a bit low, but very good

Made with 10% whole cluster. Gives the wine a little more structure. Mixed dark berries, violets and a touch of eucalyptus on the nose. Deep vibrate, lush, blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, plum & medium plus tannins. It's has beautiful mouthfeel...round & rich, dark rich earth, dark fresh florals, good acidity, polished finish of warm blue fruits. Photos are of a concrete eggs they are using more & more of for fermentation. They name each one. The other is part of Yangarra's outside seating area.

Left my tongue feeling like Sand Paper, I'd suggest to open it in the morning to drink at night. Agresivo!!

Harsh! Strong flavors to start, but ending with typical harsh flavors for a $16 Aussie Shiraz. Bold but not good. Overpriced and overrated.

Deep red - purple color, medium - heavy body. Nondecriptive nose. Bone dry, red fruit with boysenberry on the fore-palate with an “oh too light” peppery and spicy finish. Tim’s mature and well developed palate observed a hint of vanilla at very end of the finish, however it eluded me. Consistent throughout the bottle. 2014. (@ 18 at the Radisson, Covington KY- iceberg wedge & blue cheese dressing, steaks with Brussels sprouts. Key lime pie for dessert)
