Natalie's Score: 91/100

Love this full-bodied Shiraz and Viognier red wine blend. The Black Chook 2019 is floral on the nose with dark cherry, earthy, savoury herb, pepper and toasty oak spice flavours generous on the palate. Great food-friendly acidity to pair with BBQ beef ribs.

Shiraz Viognier food pairings: fried chicken in creamy gravy, rosemary lamb, pepper steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

An excellent full-bodied Shiraz made with 96% Shiraz and 4% Viognier. That 4% Viognier improves the structure of the wine. On the nose, aromas of dark berries, some floral notes and milk chocolate. The plush palate reveals more dark berries, plums, dusty mocha and subtle spice, with polished tannins and fine acidity.
A terrific wine to pair with lamb chops or bbq ribs. Definitely a buy-again wine.
Tasted May 2023.
The Black Chook is a fragrant, dry and full-bodied Shiraz/Viognier wine blend generous on the palate with dark cherry, savoury herb, pepper and toasty oak spice flavours balanced with food-friendly acidity. A perfect pairing to BBQ beef ribs. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
