Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz 2007 - $15



David: Black cherry and raspberry nose with some cedar. Big dark fruit hits the palette and evolves elegantly into spicier notes and firm tannins. The last bit was quite gritty. Would benefit from some decanting and possibly some further aging.
Score: 4.4/5

Jessica: A delicious mouthful of flavors. Combining sweet and spicy, succulent length and mouth-puckering satisfaction. I love the balance in this wine. The bitterness of the tannins is not overwhelming but enough to add the complexity to the mellow fruits. There was a hint of tartness here too, like a ripe plum. Loved it.
Score: 4.8/5
