Description

*** LIMITED TIME SPECIAL ***

"It's pristine and lifted on the nose showing blackberry, plum and floral characters, leading to a ripe and nicely weighted palate that's silky and fleshy. Not too heavy, the wine is immediately approachable with plenty of attractive flavours. At its best: now to 2018. Oct 2014." Sam Kim Wine Orbit

This wine features delightful dark cherry and plum aromas integrated with some smoky vanillin characters and cinnamon from the oak influence.

On the palate, the flavours that are suggested by the nose come to life along with some peppery spice. The wine is smooth yet full bodied with a good mouth presence exhibiting both cherry and plum flavours as well as prominent toasty oak . An attractive firm tannin grip completes the wine.

Shiraz is a great accompaniment to succulent red meat dishes and tomato based pasta

Fantastic, smooth, easy-drinking, lighter style wine. Amazing value, compared easily with bottles costing 2-3x as much in supermarket. Will definitely purchase more!

I was unprepared for the surprise over the quality of my purchase. I and my family were blown away over the outstanding value for our money.

Ian - 10/04/2015

After the first sip I knew I'd order more of this wine. It's not classy, it's not pretentious. It's not even interesting. It's just smooth and easy drinking and, as the label suggests, good fun. It might be young but it's very 'quaffable' and at the price it's excellent value.

Bruce - 28/03/2015

A Little thin but otherwise enjoyable and great value

Anthony - 29/06/2016

A good cheaper wine for everyday quaffing ( & cooking)

Patricia - 30/05/2016

M
Still very good value for money

Michael - 22/05/2016

G
very light. Not a good example of Aussie Shiraz, but still very drinkable

Graham - 17/04/2016

Pretty ordinary. Rather thin and low Alcohol content12.5%. 5 stars not likely. This is reasonable table wine that's all.

Mike - 23/03/2016

Good quaffer, great value.

An average wine at an exceptional price.

Steve - 06/10/2015

Graeme - 30/08/2015

Good value for money. Strong plum, blackberry fruit with pleasant finish. Easy to drink with BBQ or meat dishes.

Bernadette - 07/08/2015

Can't complain about the price which would get five stars. The wine itself is great for the purpose: to mull during the the chill of winter!

Rhys - 13/07/2015

G
Yes, OK, good back up to keep the night going, thought it quiet a good price for its drink ability. Will keep some in reserve

My purchase of this cheap wine was based on the glowing comments by other purchasers, but I was disappointed despite the low price. I will not buy this one again. On a positive note I have generally found other BM wines to be exceptional value for money.

Mike - 26/06/2015

R
A much lighter fruitier shiraz than most. Easy drinking and great value for money.

Rowly - 22/06/2015

A light little number but very drinkable. Very good value.

P
Nice red wine for easy drinking.
