Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Rich and ready to drink with big friendly flavors of black plums, berries, dark chocolate and smoke. Smooth and full-bodied.

Vera Czerny rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This wine completely charmed me, ever since I first tasted it.The ratio of each grape variety in the blend changes every vintage, but the quality never does - Peter Lehmann's Clancy's is a tribute to famous Barossa Shiraz.

Rated high repeatedly by prestigious wine critiques around the world - this is truly exceptional quality red wine, priced very fairly.

Black cherry and ripe plums is the first aroma notes I noticed, with a touch of chocolate. Soft, medium bodied red is perfectly balanced and not overpowering. The oak is not overpowering, in a beautiful harmony with the wine. You reach easily for a second glass! Its price in USA is around $ 14-15.

Darlene Myers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This Shiraz blend is another one of my favorite 'go-to' wines. I really enjoy this wine with steak, and meats done on the grill. Big ripe fruits and aromas of spice, oak and a hint of chocolate. It's a great value wine and I will be picking up another bottle soon.
