Shop Review: 91 Points - Robert ParkerAnother 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/purpel and possesses loads of glycerin and fully body along with stunning notes of wood spice, graphite, blackberry and pepper. Rich, chewy, and dense, in a typically bold, exuberant Aussie style, this is a wine to drink over the next 6-10 years.
My Review: Excellent and interesting wine. The smell is strongly blackberry with oak that combines to almost form a scotch whisky aroma. Great complexity ranging through spice to graphite. Dense is a great descriptor of the texture. The weight of this wine is just massive, it almost makes your jaw drop. Good length to the finish as well.
