Elderton Shiraz 2010 (about $20)






About the Wine:  High end Shiraz has been difficult to come by since Yellow Tail effectively killed the market. Shiraz is very slowly starting to make a comeback with more and more wine makers taking a chance on premium productions.

About THIS Wine:  The center is dark purple with a pink rim.  The nose is heavy with a lot of cranberry and cassis with hints of black pepper.  Thick jam and cassis dominate the palate, which blends into a lingering, peppery finish.

Drinking This Wine:  It is good by itself but it would be better with steak.

Overall Impression:  This is the very top of my price bracket, but it is difficult to convey exactly how good this wine is.  It is good for the price.
