Vasarelli Vineyards McLarenvale Shiraz 2006


What a nice surprise!! Got this bottle in a 12 bottles for $99 special at Cellarmasters and it was well worth it. I am quite familiar with Vasarelli having tried a good deal of their range.
This is a lower end (for them) release, but really it is better than many wines up to three times what this is worth.
It needed a little time to open up and my first glass was a little premature, but after the right time had passed and the wine had opened up sufficiently, it showed a very classy repertoire of smoky chocolate berries and much more.
I highly recommend this wine and am going to take advantage of the special that Cellarmasters is running on half price dozens... so i may just get 24 bottles for $250 (if I have room in the cellars...)
Drinkability 92
Value 97
Price $11 (on special - Cellarmasters)
