Rockbare Shiraz 2001?

[quijote]

A few nights ago at a liquor store I decided to take the recommendation of a wine clerk and buy a bottle of this. I can't seem to find much info about it on the 'net. Any comments about it? The clerk said he didn't detect any pepper when he tried it; he said it's more of a leather-and-earth kind of drink. True? (I thought pepper was a signature feature of shiraz and syrah, but maybe not the down-under version.....?)
