Natalie's Score: 91/100

This blockbuster Australian red wine is big and bold with tarry black fruit and lots of toasty oak. Black pepper finish. Pair with grilled meats. Despite being a heavyweight, this wine is also balanced and offers great layering of flavour and complexity. Polished tannins and a velvet mouth-feel.

Shiraz food pairings: spiced beef dishes, spicy ribs.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fragrant ripe cassis on the nose with a palate showing ripe cassis, raspberry, vanilla and oak. Dry with a well-balanced mouthfeel and a long cassis finish.
The lackey is a person who is treated as a servant and rarely gets paid what he or she is worth. Presumably this wine is underpriced and works hard as well. Points for trying hard. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.
