Solid well made Shiraz at a sensible price. Classic Barossa wine with plum and black fruits, Christmas cake and chocolate. Nicely structured with firm ripe tannins giving backbone without a hint of pain. An honest red that offers very good value.

Tasted: May 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $21 (~USD $18)
