Hey Matt!
I am always open to trying different wines of the world and a Shiraz brought to my attention is one I think you may enjoy. 3 Rings Shiraz 2006 from the Barossa Valley in Australia. 2006 was an excellent vintage in the Barossa Valley and the quality shows in the wine’s balance and complexity of flavors. A small percentage of Cabernet was used in the blend. This Shiraz is opaque purple colored, offering up a jammy perfume of cedar, spice, violets, blueberry and blackberry. This leads to a medium to full bodied wine with supple texture, full flavor, with well integrated tannin. The joint venture from its three producers make for an interesting story too. When you have a moment, pour yourself a glass. I think you will be as pleased as I was. (I am a new business owner in Chicago with wine and wine gift baskets and it is my best seller…so far!)

Like your thorough post and honest evaluation of the two Syrahs you tasted. The Bridgeman with its peppery characteristics sounds intriguing to me.

Hi Matt,
I would love it if you did a video series actually pairing the wine with food. I’d love to hear you describe these with the steak. “Food Fair Friday”?
Thx!
