McLaren Vale, Australia; $14.99
One of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz. They manage nearly 450 acres of vineyards including some of their original vines planted in 1912. Inducted into Wine & Spirits Magazine’s Hall of Fame after earning a place on their Top 100 Wineries list nine times!
“D’Arenberg’s cherry-hued Shiraz is a balanced, medium-bodied weeknight sipper. It’s open and fragranced, like a bowl of freshly picked cherries, raspberries and strawberries. There’s a line of baking spices, dried rose and ground black pepper that make this more than just a fruit bomb, however. Lifted acidity makes the fruit feel fresh, even a touch sour at the finish. Tannins are spicy and structured, and the texture is silky Drink now with a slice of pizza in hand.” – 89pts Wine Enthusiast and Best Buy Award Winner! – Sample $1.50
