Staff Comments: A Beautiful Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvedere blend from Australia! Notes of spiced mulberries and huckleberries on the nose. This is silky smooth and decadent. Toffee, mocha, white pepper and black tea compliment this nicely. Full bodied and rich, this over delivers! Serve this with veal marsala, baked halibut with an olive tapenade or avocado toast.
Bright crimson in color with purple highlights at the edge of the glass. The nose is lifted and draws you in with ripe plum, mulberry and white pepper. The palate is plush and vibrant with cherries, forest fruits and enticing spice. As silky and smooth as it is complex and savory - the wine is beautifully balanced and juicy with great structure and generous mouthfeel. This classic GSM finishes with long, velvety tannins. Pairs well with slow cooked lamb or roasted vegetable medley.

Black violet color. Aromas of blistered blackberry, sweet tea, carnation, and smoked meats with a slightly chewy, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a seamless, amusing, medium-long cinna-mint finish with well-integrated, crunchy tannins and moderate oak flavor. An inky GSM from Down Under with bold flavors and well-integrated tannins
Wine Advocate

The fruit in this 2020 Shotfire GSM is really good, but it has been contained within a shell of oak, which overtakes the finish and removes the juicy/easy-drinking vibe that the GSM is so known and loved for. There's a bright acidic lift through the finish that freshens up the wine.
