Red Wine

Magpie Estate The Sack Shiraz 2015, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: Nice interplay of dark fruits across the palate on this mouth-filling Shiraz. Layers of flavour that coat the palate with a terrific texture and weight. Polished tannins add a suppleness and slippery smoothness to this wine. A hedonist's delight. Shiraz food pairings: roast pheasant with sauerkraut, grilled marinated game birds, Hasenpfeffer. Drink: 2015 - 2019 94078 14% D 750 mL $21.95 Score: 91/100. March 2015. Top Rated Red Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
