2006 2 Up Shiraz South Australia
($15) Ruby-red. Sexy, oak-spiced raspberry and blackberry aromas are accented by mocha and minerals, with a sneaky rose note emerging with air. Lush dark berry flavors are juicy and impressively bright, with tangy minerality adding energy. A suave wine for the price, showing impressive finishing thrust and sweetness.
