This Knappstein Shiraz has a bit of that Pat Cummins swagger about it - line and length, top of off stump all day. And wines like this are golden given their reliability. Find this on the shelf and you know that you'll be in for a treat.
Blackberries and blueberries drive the ship with puffs of earthiness, carob and dark chocolate playing neat supporting roles. Plums are painted on thick and stain the mid-palate with sheets of spices offering a parting caress in an attempt to entice you once again. For 25 bucks, this is smart gear and I suspect some savvy Googling may land you a deal a little better than that. Great stuff.
