Delivering excellent rewards for the $$$s, the attractive 2014 Tahbilk Shiraz offers aromas and flavors of black fruit, savory earth, and piquant spices. The wine's smooth textures call for a pair with a grilled steak. (Tasted: October 25, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

Wine & Spirits
Tahbilk presents this classic, lean shiraz with scents of cigar tobacco, sassafras and cola. Underneath that old-fashioned charm, there’s cool, clean fruit that tastes like a perfectly ripe cherry. It’s a taste of old Australia for the 21st century.

The property comprises some 1,214 hectares of rich river flats with a frontage of 11 kms to the Goulburn River and 8 kms of permanent backwaters & creeks.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
Nestled into the tip of its southeastern coastline, Victoria is Australia’s smallest mainland state, second most populous and third largest wine producer. Victoria includes the cool regions of Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, made famous mainly by impressive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The more inland Heathcote and Bendigo lead the way for complex and textured, full-bodied reds. Rutherglen’s fortified wines compete among the best on the planet.
