Shiraz can often be too big and obvious, with too much alcohol, too much oak, too much dead fruit, too much of everything. The Usual Suspects simply isn't like this. It's what McLaren Vale does best: vibrant fruit, complexity, elegance, balance and style. This is a 'thinking person's' shiraz that evolves and reveals itself as you progress through the bottle. 89 points From Stephen Tanzer's IWC: "Candied raspberry and floral scents are complemented by white pepper and dark chocolate nuances. Supple red and dark berry flavors become firmer and brighter with air without showing any rough edges. Finishes with an echo of red fruit and good, sweet persistence. "
