You’re going to have to get creative when pairing this excellent Shiraz with food—there’s a lot of blueberry at its core. It offers a great limestone-chalk texture and restrained fruit; all in all the package may feel subdued, even lean, to folks used to South Austrlalian Shiraz. But give it, and its long, juicy finish, a chance.

This wine boasts a lot of the horsey, leathery and peppered-meat characteristics we found in many of the wines from Western Australia, but also a silky texture and enough blackberry fruit to hold everything together.

Despite ample weight and concentration, this wine is overtly green and minty, with wintergreen notes riding atop blackberry and blueberry fruit. Finishes tart.
