Pirramimma Shiraz 2006, Mclaren Vale, South Australia, Australia: Honkin’ big! Packs a punch of black fruit flavour, smoke and oak. Very tasty! Spicy black plums, dried fruit and vanilla smoke on the finish. Well done Mr. Pirramimma Winemaker. Drink: 2011-2015. 987784 14% D 750 mL  $29.95 Score: 92/100. February 5, 2011 Full Review

Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Mclaren Valle, South Australia, Australia: Here's your ultimate lamb with rosemary wine. This robust Cabernet over-delivers against its price point beautifully. I also love the Shiraz this winery makes. Full-bodied with smoky black fruit. Great concentration and depth with a good finish. Very satisfying. Crack open a bottle (or two) tonight.
