Back in the good old days, it seemed like you could always find good Shiraz cheap. Then things seemed to take a turn for the worse, with lots of overproduction and lower quality. Well, based on what we’ve been tasting lately, Australia is making quite a comeback! Today we have another great example.
The 2016 Terra Barossa Shiraz from producer Thorn-Clarke begins with abundant aromas of ripe plum plus black cherry, black pepper, licorice and vanilla with a touch of sage. It’s a very enticing and satisfying bouquet. Taking a sip reveals a smooth, plush wine full of ripe dark fruit, spice and licorice with some mocha and tobacco undertones. Medium to full-bodied and with fresh acidity, this is a great example of a multi-faceted Shiraz. Grippy tannins lead into the dry, long, dark-fruit and oaky spice filled finish.
This is another impressive wine from Australia. If you’d like to find more of our picks for the Best Australian Wines Under $20 you can check out our giant listing here!
