2009 Jim Barry PB Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon

Purchase: $60 from Cellar Door

Nose: Rich Berry fruit with a layer of dustiness.

Palate: This is a big rich wine that will have no problem alongside your meal yet is balanced enough to enjoy on its own. You will enjoy the ripe and generous flavours of chocolate and coffee. A lovely velvety texture and lingering finish. Drinking well now!
