Let us hope that Aussie wines will roar back into the USA market in the wake of a long, lamentable downturn in availability of examples like this that pack loads of flavor into a reasonably priced bottle. Lest that last sentence be misunderstood, this wine is no stupid fruit bomb, as the relatively cool climate in the Limestone Coast resulted in a lengthened growing season and more layered aromas and flavors than one would likely expect from $17 Shiraz. With fruit that is robust but not obvious and interesting savory accents, this is substantial and interesting at once.
