83/100 35

Supple, easy-drinking Shiraz with pleasant plum and chocolate-like oak flavours. A junior Barossa Shiraz Style that’s probably more drinkable than many. Good firm tannins and (happily) not even a suspicion of sweetness. Offers value at this price.

Tasted: May 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $17 (~USD $14)
