Watch out Napa. Watch out France. Watch out Tuscany. Australia has arrived on the scene. This exotic red from Oceania has the ‘roos hopping. Fruit on the front, spicy on the back. Hint of crustacean in the middle. Pairs excellent with a fresh Bloomin’ Onion when you’re out of Fosters. Always have one or two on hand for rugby Sunday’s.

One of my absolute favorite value wines. I always have 2 or 3 of these in my rack. Great right out of the bottle with tart red and black fruits and white pepper notes. After an hour or so, it opens up with more complex and bold spice, ripe cherry and dark fruits and chocolate. Medium body, medium+ acid. Medium+ tannic short finish. Great wine overall, not just for the price.

Jammy on the palate with smooth tannins, but falls short on the finish. Well-balanced Alchohol for an Aussie Shiraz; not a bad value.

Jammy, fruity nose with a hint of eucalyptus. Dry and soft on the palate. Medium bodied if a tad flabby.
