At its suggested retail price of $12, this is a great value in Aussie Shiraz. It’s not the biggest or most muscular, but it does offer authoritative flavors of blackberries, pepper, leather and spice, a creamy texture and a crisp, fresh finish. And the Zork closure gives it additional appeal. 1 Note
Smooth, with absolutely no rough edges—or even much texture at all—this grapy, juicy Cabernet goes down easy enough, it just doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression. Quaffable. 1 Note
This 60-40 blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon delivers plenty of bang for the buck, accenting blackberry and fudge flavors with hints of coffee and roasted meat. The long, mouthwatering finish rests on supple tannins that should give this wine life through 2010. 1 Note
