2006 Red Wine from Barossa Valley, Australia $16
I tasted this blend of 78% Shiraz, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot three times over the day and could not get enough. Beautiful inky color, with a nose of dark fruit, earth, spice and dark chocolate. Soft and lush on the palate, with blueberry pie, espresso, leather and nutmeg. 16% alcohol, but it’s not hot, the finish is smooth and long with the toasty oak coming out. Drink this Best Buy now thru 2015.
