Sandhill Syrah 2007
Sandhill has hit one out of the park with this classic Aussie style Shiraz. I like the big Aussie when it’s done well, but too often it’s overdone one way. This Sandhill Shiraz has the big fruity style, but it’s perfectly balanced – delicious without hitting you over the head. Not so much “wow,” as “mmmm.” I won’t give it a score or value rating, but I will say that I had a bottle last week and went out and picked up six more. I had another glass tonight, and I think I’ll pick up another half dozen tomorrow. There’s not much left in the province. $23.49.

i concur with your rave review. this is an excellent wine and the price makes it a bargain. i bought 5 and am tempted to buy the last few bottles.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on this wine- rally liked the flavours- solid wine- noticed that there are some new Sandhills now availabe at ANBL- anyone tried the Petit Verdot
ReplyDeleteI picked up a bottle of the Petit Verdot yesterday _ I'll post when I try it.
