This shiraz, also known as syrah, is a nice little gem of a wine from California. The nose offers bright notes of cassis, plum, leather and toasted oak. The palate demonstrates dry, fruit forward flavors of berries, subtle herbs, and mineral. Wonderful balance, moderate tannins, medium body and viscosity deliver nice mouth feel and a sustained finish. This shiraz wine pairs well with roast beef and potatoes au gratin.

My God, this Shiraz rocks! The nose features aromas of cherry and cigar box. Even the way this Aussie jewel pours forth from the bottle is a truly, somewhere over the rainbow, “Land of Oz”, experience. The palate is simply amazing. Unctuous flavors of black cherry, licorice, cocoa and cedar prevail. The finish is satisfyingly long. This is a well-developed, mature, wine that will consume you before you consume it. Buy it where you can find it, as it becoming harder to acquire in volume. Drink with gusto now!  

Shiraz versus Syrah is the same grape varietal with two different names and one great taste! The nose is packed with aromas of toasted oak, berries and mushrooms. Dry and structured, the palate furnishes moderate tannins and terrific mouth feel. Flavors of unctuous black cherry, cocoa and subtle licorice notes. Expect a long finish. A bargain at this price, this Shiraz is worth buying.

This California Shiraz is a bargain! The nose is complex, offering both herbal and floral essences with a hint of bubble gum.

This fabulous Shiraz hails from South Australia. Profound aromas of berries impact you immediately. This wine offers deep, provocative flavors of both blackberry and blueberry, which further evolve as essences of licorice, mocha, and tobacco make their presence known on your palette. A lingering finish prolongs your enjoyment. One of the best examples of a Shiraz I ever drank. Be sure to decant appropriately! This wine is ready to drink now.

Named after Australia’s Kookaburra bird, this fantastic Aussie blend consists of 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier, and it is aged in both American and French oak. I poured this wine into a glass situated on a table three feet below me, and the aromatics wafted their way up to my nose. Amazing! The fruit forward taste of berry and subtle honeydew melon with its lingering finish is incredible. Buy it while you still can. Cheers!
