Here's a great example of cool(er) climate Shiraz from what is probably the best producer of value reds working in Australia today. Nicely aromatic; smells of black plum, crushed raspberries and baking spice on the nose. Then nicely spicy and vibrant with balanced fruit, great acidity and a touch of roasted meat in the middle. This gains weight and depth with a little air and will drink well over the next 3-5 years.
"Lithe in texture, with a beam of root beer-accented berry and currant flavors, lingering against fine tannins on the graceful finish. Drink now through 2013."Wine Spectator 89 points
