First Families of Wine REDS

Start in the west with two fine Howard Park Shiraz – one the lavish 96pt Leston Margaret River Shiraz, the other the vibrant 92pt Flint Rock Great Southern Shiraz with a “peppery fruit intensity” (Halliday Wine Companion.) Then, to South Australia for a silky Adelaide Pinot Noir from d’Arenberg, and a luscious Gold-medal Clare Valley Limestone Coast Cabernet from 5 Red Star Taylors. Next, to Victoria for the “classic” (Halliday Wine Companion) Tahbilk Estate Old Vines Cabernet Shiraz and last, NSW’s beautiful Hunter Valley for a fine Tyrrell’s Shiraz. This is a stunning collection you absolutely want in your wine rack. Enjoy.
