I find this wine to be one of the best values I've tried in years. Very testy, rich and full bodies. But also very affordable, with a $10-$12 price tag. Great wine.

Not sure what all these non-reviewing nay-sayers are looking for in a wine. I have been enjoying Shiraz from SA lately, and this is no exception. Tasty dark cherry flavoured fruit hits the nose, the taste.. complex and nice, i found it a tad tart, the lovely finish maintains the fruitiness but with yummy licorice / ethiopian coffee notes. Despite the description it's not overpowering either, not as tannic as many cabernets or as strong as a big syrah. For me, this style is a bargain.
