Score 93/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2013

Glass-staining ruby. Potent, smoke- and spice-accented dark berry and cherry aromas are lifted by a subtle mineral nuance. Deeply pitched black and blue fruit flavors show a surprisingly lithe character and pick up sweetness with air. Supple and seamless on a finish that clings with excellent tenacity.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2012-2021, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Dec 2011

Deep garnet with a hint of purple in the color, the 2009 Black Guts Shiraz reveals aromas of warm black fruits, cassis and crushed blueberries with underlying nuances of Mediterranean herbs, black pepper, tar and salami. Very full bodied with a generous amount of layered warm black fruit and savory flavors, it is well structured with a medium to firm level of finely grained tannins and lively acid, finishing long. Approachable now, it should cellar to 2021+. Importer: CLD Imports, Barrington, IL; tel. (847) 898-9500
