What a blockbuster Shiraz for the price! This red wine delivers attractive aromas of blackberries, licorice, black and purple plum notes and toasty oak. Full-bodied supple, smooth, smoky and juicy. Great for potluck gatherings and movie night.

Shiraz food pairings: lamb cutlets, beef, pork spareribs, pizza, grilled or spice-rubbed chicken.

Love this one
Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

I'm going out on a limb and calling this a great "entry level" Shiraz. Is there such a thing? At $17 this wine has a lot on offer. The bottle is decorated in an eclectic mix of Gold and Silver Awards and with one sip and I understood why. Juicy red berries, cassis, cherry, plum, baking spices, cigar. Polishing tannins and balanced acidity. The length is long on a baked cherry finish. Perfect BBQ wine.
