WTN: Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz 2007

Limestone Coast, South Australia

Dark purple in the glass.

Chocolate covered cherries on the nose.

Plush and rich in the mouth, black cherry, smoky, good acidity, medium weight, a bit of noticeable heat, chocolate, tarry, thick, spicy, a little sweet.

Drying on the finish.

Went very well with some delicious BBQed steaks.

Screwcap closure.

Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian) and good value.

Jip Jip Rocks is pretty much a favourite in my part of town. Also big brother Morambro Creek Shiraz - had the 2007 the other night - just delicious - I love that cool climate Aussie style.
