52% Shiraz, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon. Slowly going down hill since '99. So International in style now that you can't ID the region or the grape. Dark in the glass, flavors of currant, dark berry and moderate oak, very smooth and one dimensional. Tannins seemed to be fully integrated. Short finish. Would appeal to the BBQ crowd or first time red crowd. Uninteresting and won't buy again until they go back to the old ways. 13.9%Alc/vol. $9.99

A year latter (same vintage) it is selling here at $10.99. Seems a little better, if not much. Went well with leftover Belgian Beef Stew in lieu of Belgian or Belgian styled brew. Don't do any brew anymore. Sigh!
