Best's Great Western ‘Bin No. 1’ Shiraz 2014 Review
Though this Shiraz manages to have more restraint than some of the more bombastic styles of Australia’s warmer regions, it’s more simplistic than desired. It’s mellow and easy drinking, with fresh black fruit and a touch of high-toned mint and olive tapenade accents. For those who can’t decide between New World Shiraz and Old World Syrah, this is a happy medium.
