Red Wine by St. Hallett from Barossa Valley, Australia. Every Poacher needs a Gamekeeper! Typical of traditional Barossa red blends, St Hallett Gamekeeper's Reserve is packed with Shiraz and Grenache and matching the uniqueness of the Poacher's blend it includes tiny proportion of Touriga Nacional giving it a floral and spice finish. From humble beginnings the Poacher's and Gamekeeper's sibling wines have become consistent favourites of the Barossa! Food Match: Chorizo or Tapas Blend: Shiraz 60%, Grenache 32%, Touriga Nacional (traditional varietal component of Vintage Port) 8%

Red Wine by Two Hands from Barossa Valley, Australia. Deep dark chocolate in color. A powerful bouquet of tobacco leaf, charcoal, aniseed and cassis. Initially dense and fleshy the licorice, loganberry and dark currant flavours roll across the palate. This is beautifully balanced and finishes with soft and expressive tannins that remain juicy and concentrated throughout. Very drinkable now but will evolve over the years.

Red Wine by Yalumba from Barossa Valley, Australia. The 2001 The Reserve is 74% Cabernet Sauvignon and 26% Shiraz aged for 20 months in 70% new French oak hogsheads. From old vines with low yields, the wine is densely colored and glass-coating. It has a splendid bouquet of smoke, pencil lead, tar, espresso, blueberry, and blackberry. On the palate it remains an infant developmentally with full, ripe tannin, gobs of fruit, and great length. It needs a minimum of 10-12 years of cellaring and will drink well through 2040. - Wine Advocate

Red Wine by Yalumba from Barossa Valley, Australia. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Shiraz from Barossa estate vineyards, the 2003 The Signature is a big, chunky, heady red that is closed at present. Nevertheless, it reveals an inky/purple color, impressive levels of richness, and sweet notes of charcoal, acacia flowers, blackberries, tar, and pepper. This wine spent 22 months in 300 liter American and French hogsheads. It should emerge from its muted stage in 2-3 years, and last for 15 or more. - Wine Advocate
