Scents of charred meat and grilled plum emanate from the 2014 The Ripper Shiraz, a sturdy, medium to full-bodied wine that's grown in Western Australia but made back east in the Hunter Valley. Bold plum and blackberry notes dominate the palate, although ripe tannins give it a savory note, and that sense of caramelized fruit and flesh lingers on the velvety finish.

Dense, espresso-laced blackberry flavors are rich and thick, with plenty of traction from the tannins and a spicy finish. Drink now through 2027. 5,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Western Australia Select to Add
