In line with the label's credo, "No Wimpy Wines," Ravenswood's California winemaker went Down Under to produce this bold, fruit-forward wine in the classic Aussie style. Made from 97 percent Shiraz and 3 percent Cabernet and Grenache, the wine offers violet and spice bouquets with dark, ripe berry flavors and smoky notes. Good with roast meats and barbecue.
