Acidity is a tad high, but that's probably to be expected given the quality of the '08 vintage. A very brisk and tart wine that might work well if served alongside greasy ribs or wings. Not bad - but I would like to try this from a better vintage. The wine has a decent colour and the Shiraz pepperiness dominates over top some very vague, tart red fruit.

Taste was a bit green and herbacous. Not very complex dispite being a blend of four reds. Mostly a herbacous taste with a little bit of black pepper spice. Taste improves if served just slightly chilled. Nose didn’t offer a lot.
