Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A fruit forward Cab/Shiraz blend. Aromas of plum and sweet cherry. Some more dark fruit on the palate with hints of sweet spice and cocoa. Decent finish with some fruity sweetness and lingering soft tannins. A good value wine. Paired very well with Mediterranean Pizza!

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby coloured Shiraz Cabernet blend, off- dry and medium bodied, with a sweet candied red fruit aroma, with a touch of spice. This repeats on the palate. With soft tannins and medium acidity this wine paired well with the smoky sweet notes of roasted red pepper, brie, pear and mushroom pizza.

Janet Holden rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

This blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of ripe cherry, dark fruits and cassis. It is full bodied and off-dry, with fruity, jammy flavours and a bit of spice. It would pair well with burgers on the grill.

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Blend No19, Black Cellar, made by Andrew Peller, delivers aromas of red plum, blueberry, olive, licorice, cured meat, smoke and spice. The Shiraz Cabernet blend brings a medium body, delicious acidity and slender tannins, and the finish delivers spice and dried fruit. Palate: tart plum, cherry, lavender, leather, sweet tobacco, spice and cedar. Enjoy!

Craig Haynes rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

This medium body Shiraz Cabernet blend offered ripe aromas and flavours reminiscent sweet cherry jam, raspberry lozenges, strawberry confections and subtle spices. Soft tannins and a long finish capped off the experience. Enjoy.

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

A non-VQA international mix of Shiraz and Cabernet blended and cellared in Canada . Aromas of strawberry, vanilla, plum and dark cherry, red berry pie filling and raspberry jam. This repeats on the palate with a touch of pepper, menthol and cherry cough-drop. Medium acidity and body with off-dry sweetness. A quick and easy grab for burgers or pizza.

Garnet colour with fruit forward bouquet. The smooth mouthfeel has ripe flavors of plum, cherry, red berries and blueberry. Lingering notes on the finish of plum and cherry are complimented by sweet spice
