Natalie's Score: 92/100

A full-bodied Australian red wine blend of traditional Rhone varieties: Shiraz (about 90%) and Mourvèdre (about 10%) grapes with terrific structure and depth. Judicious use of oak wraps around blackberries and some dark spice notes. The wine was aged in second use American oak barrels. A pleasantly long, dry finish. Another classic red from Australia. Perfect for grilled meats: smooth yet robust. Finishes with dark fruits, pepper and spice. Pair with braised meats or stew.

Shiraz Mataro food pairings: veal, roast chicken, venison stew.

Opaque dark garnet with aromas and flavours of ripe blackberry, dried herbs, licorice and subtle oak. Dry, elegant and smooth, with a lingering finish.
