Tait Wines The Ball Buster Barossa Valley Shiraz Blend 2013
New release of the Shiraz blend from Australia that's gaining a cult-like following! Get the new release before the ratings come out! previous vintage 92 points Robert Parker: "The Ball Buster blend has been an annual Best Buy and, even at the current asking price, it is an awesome value (at least for hedonists). It is composed of 72% Shiraz, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Merlot aged for 12 months in seasoned French and American oak. Opaque purple-colored, it has a nose of cedar, leather, spice box, and blueberry that leaps from the glass. This is followed by a plush, full-bodied wine with gobs of flavor and superior length. This easy-to-understand effort defines the meaning of over-delivering and will do so for another four years."

Very nice blend from the Barossa Valley. Full bodied, smooth, pretty big wine for the price. And delicious right after opening.

Great bang for your buck. Red berry and a shuttle vanilla and cola flavor. Builds in spicyness at the finish. A favorite of mine!
