Natalie's Score: 92/100

The 2016 vintage is an Australian red wine blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The wine was matured in both new and used French and American oak barrels. The Jip Jip rocks are an outcrop of 350 million year old red granite near the family's vineyard in the heart of the Padthway region near Morambro Creek. A lively, mouth-coating red wine from a consistently good producer. This vintage offers aromas of minty blackberry on the nose with fleshy black plum on the palate. Round, supple and satisfying with a great finish. Try it with gourmet hamburgers and all the fixings.

Shiraz Cabernet food pairings: pizza, hamburgers, lamb chops.

Reviews and Ratings

Jip Jip Rocks (2016) Shiraz is a red wine blend of 60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The wine is matured in both new and used French and American oak barrels. This vibrant, mouth-coating red wine is a consistent crowd-pleaser at a great price. This vintage is medium-bodied with rich, fleshy dark fruit and firm tannins. Could easily cellar for three years. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
