I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

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.
