Natalie's Score: 90/100

This full-bodied Australian red wine is mostly Shiraz, with a splash of the white wine grape Viognier, which gives it a floral lift through the mid-palate. This blend is popular in Australia and creates wine of great complexity and depth. The Claymore Shiraz Viognier is juicy and mouth-watering with purple and black plum aromas and flavours. Full-bodied, smooth and satisfying. Satin smooth tannins with a long finish. Great value.

Shiraz food pairings: steak, hamburgers, meat lovers pizza.

This is a robust blend of two estate-grown Clare Valley Shiraz vineyards that are dry grown and aged in spicy oak. Pair this wine with letting down your hair and taking off your glasses. - 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.

The Financial Times of London

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.
