Winery review: "91 pts--Robert Parker. Anotehr winner and sensational, the 2010 Shotfire Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Shiraz. A whopper of a wine, it is deep ruby/purple and possesses loads of glycerin and full body along with stunning notes of wood spice, graphite, blackberry and pepper. Rich, chewy, and dense, in a typically bold, exuberant Aussie style, this is a wine to drink over the next 6 - 10 years."

My review: I loved this wine. This red had a nose that was rich with dark fruit, and black currant. It's taste was full of tannins, with a woody complex flavor that pushes out the grapes. With light heat, and a ton of flavor, this has a really nice finish.
