Deen DeBortoli Vat 8 Shiraz 2008

Talk about value. This wine can often be seen around the $10 mark and it drinks better than that for sure.

The fruit is drawn from a range of vineyards: Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale, King Valley and Heathcote.

A medium bodied red (14.5% abv), the wine is deep purple in the glass. A massive nose of blackfruits, plums, and a snip of cloves. Great depth.

Upfront on the palate is where the action happens, but the mid and back palate dissolve a little too quickly for my liking. Plummy and chocolatey to finish with fine tannins.

Impressive for the price point.
