($9.99) color of cranberry-grape juice. nose of black cherries, spice and a touch of vanilla. taste of same, with a hint of silky tannins on the tongue. this soft wine is ready to drink now. went great with grilled burgers and does just fine on its own.

I've always liked Buckleys and picked up a couple of the '97 Cab/Merlot blend yesterday.

Newsguy, Drew......
There's no doubt that this juice is a decent drink. Everytime I see some bottles on the shelf, I pick-up a few.
Doesn't take long to put the empties in the recycle bin......

Picked up the Buckleys on Sat.night along with a bottle of pinot noir(Mt.Eden).Had some of the shiraz Sunday night with chicken and pasta. I'm partial to Rosemount but I do enjoy this and will make a future purchase.

Popped the 2000 today and..."not my cup of tea" Very bright plum, tart nose of plum and dark fruits, no oak. Flavors of bright dark fruits initially but after 1 hour of breathing, smoothed out to reveal darker flavors with a medium one dimensional finish. The Pepperwood Grove blew this away at $6.99. The Buckley's was $9.99, 13.5%Alc/vol. Better shiraz out there for $10 or less, IMHO.
