Brokenwood is always good for a quality wine. We went, a year or so ago, to a members' dinner (courtesy of friends who are members), and had a rip-roaring good time, tasting around seven of their wines along with matched food. We have been fans ever since.
This is one of their good standard plonks, a blend of shiraz from several different vineyards. It's lightly spicy on the nose, with chocolate and mulberry aromas thrown in. The palate is light too - coming after the Koonara, in fact, it was a bit overpowered, but it has a pleasant smooth oakiness, and red berry and pepper flavours. I would say this wine would improve over a couple of years in the cellar; but I don't have a cellar, so my recommendation has to be drink now!
Food: Veal cutlet.
Price: According to Brokenwood's website, $28 a bottle. You could probably find it for less.
