Three Rings Shiraz 2004 Barossa Valley, Australia

List Price: $19, We Bought a Bunch: $15.99

What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Advocate 91 Points The dense purple color of this voluptuous, supple-textured 2004 is accompanied by a flamboyant, extroverted bouquet of blackberries, white flowers, earth, and background oak. The wine offers pure blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with hints of graphite and camphor. Consume this excellent value over the next 3-4 years

What We Thought: This is exactly what you would expect from Barossa Shiraz... big, dark, dense, robust, all the things it should be. Ultra-full-bodied, with gobs of blackberry fruit along with notes of dark chocolate and black pepper, this monster finishes as smooth as it starts. Not for the faint of palate.
