Country: Australia / Stonemason
Variety: Shiraz South Australia
Winery: Ballast Stone Estate Wines / Currency Creek
Honest and straightforward, with black cherry candy and strawberry fruit upfront that give way to flavors of mixed berries and pepper in the mouth. This wine has a burly structure, with gripping tannins, firm acid and good palate length though it drops a bit short at the end. A fine choice for a casual barbecue. Drink before 2011.
