Bishop by Ben Glaetzer – Barossa Valley Shiraz 2007, Australia
Cost: $24.99/bottle

This wine was genuinely rich and thick in texture, with a complex nose of crushed blackcherries, blueberry pie, and vanilla milkshake, with hints of smoked meat, cedar, and toasty oak. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, with a creamy viscosity similar to ‘half and half,’ gobs of fruit, good supple tannins, and a gorgeous finish. Quite impressive. It’s a well-restrained shiraz offering just the right fruit ripeness while maintaining its consistent complex flavor (with a nose to match). I like this a lot and it’s surely worth picking up a few more bottles at a price of a penny under $25. Well bought.

Rating: 91
