Sister's Run Epiphany Shiraz 2012, Mclaren Vale, South Australia, Australia: Concentrated pleasure with dark depths of fleshy black plums and blackberry fruit. What a package, especially for this price. Winemaker Elena Brooks apparently wears steel cap work boots every day but carries a pair of high heels in case of "emergencies" (you go girl!).

Elderton Barossa Shiraz 2015, Barossa, South Australia, Australia: The grapes for this rich, full-bodied Shiraz from the Barossa Valley were sourced from the Ashmead Family vineyards from 100% estate-grown Shiraz wine grapes from 15 to 100 year old vines. Loaded with mint, fleshy blackberry and smoke aromas and flavours. Lots of toasty oak, smoke and tarry notes. Full-throttle Australia Shiraz in all its glory. I'm a big fan of Elderton wines, and this is one fine example of why. A lovely vein of blackberry liqueur supports this concentrated wonder. Perfect for film noir and blackened ribs. Drink now and for the next five years. Drink: 2018-2024. 713024 14.50% XD 750 mL  $24.95 Score: 93/100. May 12, 2018 Top Rated Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
