| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | South Australia is experimenting with Italian varieties, including Barbera and Sangiovese, and some of it will turn up in blends. In this example, blending Shiraz (55%); Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) and Barbera (5%) from a variety of vineyard sites crafts a well-made easy-drinking wine that benefits from being slightly cooled, say to about 60ºF/15ºC. Medium-bodied with a deep violet purple hue, this dry red wine (it’s got just .27 RS) shows ripe plumy fruit aromas and flavors. Soft tannins and generous fruit make it an good red for anyone transitioning into more serious wines. And for the serious red wine drinker, it’s a wine that will go with lots of foods. We tasted it at D’Vine Wine Bar in Dunwoody with lamb chop lollipops, but it would also do well with barbecue, smoked meats, mild cheeses, and perhaps even dark chocolate.
