    91 Points - Robert Parker

    Another 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 typical bold exuberant Aussie style, this is a wine to drink over the next 6-10 years.

My Review:  
    This wine carries a dark bloody crimson color, almost black. The nose carries lots of sour fruit with hints of raspberry/blackberry. Upon tasting, the wine was mildly tannic with a fruity start leading into a bold, dry, and fruity finish. Complex and quite nice. 82/100
