Though it's easily quaffed, one reviewer noted that this Shiraz's flavors are more like that of Chardonnay: It offers strong butterscotch, vanilla and popcorn notes on the nose, and more creamy vanilla, burnt-sugar flavors in the mouth. There are raspberry and blackberry flavors here, but they're well hidden. Finishes short, with oak and licorice.——W.E.(11/1/2001)—— 85
