  Not bad for $10, but for around that price or barely more there's a lot better wine to be found. This feels a bit confected with slightly smoky, grapey fruit, although at times a nice red cherry tone shines through. Decent structure and acidity, but still a bit flat overall.

  Leather seared beef eucalyptus menthol pepper. Super fresh, like a pool, wood but not oak, like spruce or pine
  
  (Pool-it smells like the racquet club because of the pool and the eucalyptus trees back by the track!)
  
  Pine/eucalyptus prominent palate, red/black fruit after, white pepper, mild tannins, stick to upper front gums but not too strong,
  
  Second glass cocoa powder cinnamon then the sharpest part of tiger balm aroma
  
  3.8
  
  Ever more intense Mexican cocoa
  
  4.2

  There's a fair amount of cherry.

  I bought this because I read raves about their 2017 GSM, but my store did not have the 2017 GSM, only the 2017 Shiraz, so I thought I would give it a try at $8.33. This is one of the lousiest wines I have had in recent memory. Quite harsh, with a metallic aftertaste. I will not be buying a case.
