Red Wine

3 Rings Shiraz 2022, South Australia, Australia: 3 Rings 2022 Shiraz from the Barossa Valley is a smooth, crowd-pleasing red that combines excellent value with bold character. This dry, medium-plus-bodied wine presents vibrant dark berry, floral, nutty, and cocoa notes, all framed by supple tannins and a silky texture. It’s approachable now and will continue to evolve until 2030. Pair it with a garlic and rosemary-infused roast leg of lamb or grilled steak for an enhanced experience. Shiraz food pairings: hamburgers, espresso and cocoa-rubbed flank steak, black bean soup, cheese.
