The best of the reds is the value priced 2006 Shiraz “Terra Barossa”. Opaque purple, it has an enticing spicy perfume of blueberry and blackberry that jump from the glass. Plush and ripe, it tastes like Shiraz selling for three times the price. It has outstanding depth and length and, best of all, it can be enjoyed now.
Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel. (540) 722-9258 Also tasted: 2006 Riesling “Terra Barossa” (78), 2005 Barossa Cuvee “Terra Barossa” (84)

Bright and juicy. A lively mouthful of raspberry, with a hint of earth as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2010. 12,000 cases made. –HS
