Super sweet. When they say Jam they are not kidding. Tastes like something from church. Decent summer wine when cooking out. Not a lot of character.

This sweet Shiraz is so good. I am a big fan of sweet wines and this one hits the spot. So fruity and went so well with my steak dinner and had some left over to go with my Beemster xo cheese. Got to buy me some more bottles.

This wine and I were not made to get along. If the words "Sweet Shiraz" raises your guard as much as they did mine be sure to steer clear of this one...

This is a sweet wine (54g/L). The nose is full of berries with a "jammy" quality. The flavor is sweet and fruity, with a smooth finish and light tannins. Very easy to drink (if you like sweet wines, that is). Medium body.

The bottle was a little warm yet it was still much better than expected. Some residual sugar but I wouldn't classify this as a sweet wine.

This is horrid. I hate to not return to a bottle for a second shot after the first taste, but this was definitely not my type of wine. A glass of this will put you in a diabetic coma. Shiraz was a nice varietal until aome Aussies tried to fix what was not broken. I thought the black bubbles (Shingleback) was an outlandishly bad idea but this bottle of sugar is a complete waste of effort. I won't grade this …

This is not a sophisticated experience but is nonetheless an extremely enjoyable smooth, lush, very comfortable wine. The vanilla, chocolate, dark berry aromas can be smelled before the glass even arrives at the table but are not overwhelming in the least in the mouth. Still, they are pronounced and I had to wonder if there was something forced about them...could they be artificially infused? In the end, I didn't think that was a fair conclusion because the taste, finish, and …

Raspberry, blackberry with hints of dark chocolate. Fresh and beautifully balanced. Really enjoyed this with cheese; great for holidays. Fun wine!

Bright color. Pretty spicy nose. Lush & fruity with a very sweet finish. Not my cup of tea, but the wine is very well made for what it is.
