NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Jim Barry The McRae Wood Shiraz is a fragrant, full-bodied Australian Shiraz.On the nose, aromas of red and black fruits, blueberries, and dried herbs come through, with a touch of pepper and oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with notes of sweet red fruits, black pepper, and a hint of earthiness. The tannins are well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. This is an excellent Shiraz that will pair well with grilled meats or aged cheeses.
