"Soft, velvety and generous with its tobacco-accented plum and brown sugar flavors, lingering on the supple, spicy finish. Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2012. 15,000 cases made. –HS

"The Ball Buster is a perennial Best Buy in these pages. There are 15,000 cases of Tait’s 2008 Ball Buster, a blend of 76% Shiraz, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Merlot aged for 12 months in seasoned, predominantly American oak. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up a fragrant perfume of pencil lead, licorice, spice box, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Layered, savory, and long on the palate, this well-balanced, pleasure-bent effort will drink well for another 4-6 years.
