Kay Brothers "Hillside" is a very enjoyable Shiraz, one where the regional menthol character is nicely folded into plush black fruit and accented with notes of pepper and tar. Supple texture and bright acidity keep the flavor elements pulsing through a long integrated finish that will have you coming back for more. This would serve well with lamb of course, but it is more versatile than that. Try it with seared Ahi or barbecue if you dare.
