Natalie's Score: 91/100

This blockbuster Australian Shiraz is made from grapes grown in the cool McLaren Vale, and made more interesting with a splash of Barbera grapes in the blend. Attractive aromas of blackberry and black current on the nose and palate of this dry, full-bodied wine. Savoury and meaty, yet also juicy. This wine packs a flavour punch. Pair with prime rib.

Shiraz food pairings: grilled meats, cheesy pizza, grilled flat iron steak.

Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Great nose on this Australian red from Wits End hailing from McLaren Vale. Blackberry, herbal, vanilla and cracked black pepper - the palate is luscious with rich, ripe dark fruit and hints of cocoa and smoke coming through on the finish. Delicious.
Wits End Luna (2015) is a full-bodied Shiraz, from cool-climate McLaren Vale wine region in South Australia. This Shiraz is savoury and meaty with dark plum, blackberry, with licorice, dark chocolate on the palate. Tannins are soft and the wine finishes with fresh acidity. Drink now and for the next 10 years. - 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.
