Upon first whiff, there were scents of rich tobacco, and earth mixed with a blackberry bramble in the summer heat. The first few sips were a touch on the sour plum side, followed by leather and rosemary.
After I walked away from my glass to focus on syrah #2 of the evenine, and let this one open up a bit, it morphed in to a rich creamy shiraz, with a hint of sweetness wrapped around ollaberries. Not normal blackberries mind you, because they are too sweet, but some variant with a touch of tartness, and some blueberries.
A good wine, but not sure it's worth the $15 when there are so many other great wines out there for the same price.
