Score 89/100 · Drink 2006-2020, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Nov 2019
The 2004 The Ball Buster Proprietary Red is a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot. It's meaty and savory in profile, with rich, dried-fruit character on the nose. Black cherries, tobacco, vanilla, spice and a bit of warmth are on the palate, which is full-bodied, supple and creamy. The first vintage of this wine was the 2001.

Deep ruby. Blackberry, cassis, roasted coffee, vanilla and coconut on the nose-pretty exotic stuff. Thick and weighty, with powerful dark fruit flavors and a supple, velvety texture. The cassis flavor takes on an almost liqueur-like tone on the sweet, lush finish, but there's also energy and clarity here. A real overachiever for the price.
