Wine of the Week: E Minor Shiraz 2005 (Australia) $12

Wednesday July 30, 2008

The E Minor Shiraz from Australia's Barossa Valley is a medium-bodied, spicy Shiraz that boasts big cherry and juicy plum flavors. There is some heat and pepper on the palate - the tannins are level-headed and unobtrusive - they go with the flow and make for a great food pairing partner, especially for grilled steaks or sausage, barbecue ribs, peppery marinades and the like.

Glad to see a wine that has a great review for the price. Barrossa Valley makes some great wines. I’m stuck on the 2007 Turkey Flat Rose`. It’s been in the triple digets in Little Rock, AR.I will ask my wine merchant if he has the wine, or if he can order it for me. Thanks for the tip!

A great drop – but tell me where I can purchase at $12! Best I can do is $15.

Just bought 6 at a HEB market in Austin, TX. $12.95 -10% for quantity, works out to $11.65/bottle. Was the last at this particular market, will try others tomorrow.
