James Suckling 91 Punkte: A very spicy nose with rich dark-plum and blackberry aromas, as well as a gently earthy edge. The palate has tart red-plum and licorice flavors with soft, easy style. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Robert Parker 93 Punkte:.Another successful vintage, the 2017 GAM Shiraz is a bit more savory than usual, with meaty notes and hints of black olives joining rich blackberry flavors. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, it remains juicy and fresh on the finish, picking up hints of cherries and raspberries. It should drink well for a decade.

Wine Spectator 90 Punkte: There's an elegant and open-knit quality to the precise flavors of maraschino cherry, rosemary, blueberry, dark chocolate and dried porcini, juicy and polished on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 2,500 cases made, 250 cases imported. — MW
