I'm going out on a limb and calling this a great "entry level" Shiraz. Is there such a thing? At $17 this wine has a lot on offer. The bottle is decorated in an eclectic mix of Gold and Silver Awards and with one sip and I understood why. Juicy red berries, cassis, cherry, plum, baking spices, cigar. Polishing tannins and balanced acidity. The length is long on a baked cherry finish. Perfect BBQ wine.
Tasted: March 2015

Natalie's Review

Zonte's Footstep Lake Doctor Shiraz 2012, Langhorne Creek, South Australia, Australia: What a blockbuster Shiraz for the price! This red wine delivers attractive aromas of blackberries, licorice, black and purple plum notes and toasty oak. Full-bodied supple, smooth, smoky and juicy. Great for potluck gatherings and movie night. Drink: 2013-2016. 72975 14.50% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 90/100. March 7, 2015 Best Value Red Wine. Plush Pork Wine Full Review
