Kay Brothers HIllside Shiraz
$59.99
"Dark chocolate, mulberries and savory spice all come together on the nose of the 2015 Hillside Shiraz. It's a dense, concentrated wine, richly structured and tannic but not unapproachable with a rare hunk of beef or lamb. The Kay Brothers wines make no concessions to modernity, sticking to the tried and true methods of crafting traditional, cellar-worthy Shiraz." Wine Advocate

Best's Great Western Bin 1 Shiraz
$34.99
Bin No. 1 is a classic, cool-climate, aromatic Shiraz, made in a style that's floral, spicy and peppery yet retains generous fruit characteristics and intensity. It's a well-balanced wine where alcohol does not dominate, as it can do with some Aussie Shiraz. This is an elegant wine crafted to drink now and makes a great accompaniment to food.
James Suckling awarded it 95 points with the following review:"This is a traditional Australian Shiraz in the best sense, with a wealth of black, red and ripe orange fruit. Deep and rich, with a stunningly fine tannin structure and a lovely blood orange freshness at the long, structured and spicy finish. Excellent aging potential. Drink or hold."
And from James Halliday: "A vibrant, deeply coloured Shiraz with that distinctive Grampians peppery bouquet with briar, black cherry, mixed berry, aniseed and bush mint. Pepperiness lights up the palate which is supple and dark fruited, driving long." Rating: 92 Points
All in all, pretty impressive for a $33 bottle of wine.
