Especially for Kato, this is a case of 6 bottles of the lovely Tarrawarra Kidron Shiraz. 

Cheers

Deep crimson in aspect, with aromas of plums, pepper spice and some notes of earth, leading to a full bodied palate of stewed fruits, ripe dark berries and notes of mint and fruitcake.

An emerging wine style – the Viognier (white wine) softens and adds a subtle floral to the Shiraz. This one starts out with the aroma of plum, roses, spice and oak, followed by flavors full of ripe fruit and sweet spice, finishing with crisp acid and mellow tannins.

The quirky label from Killara Estate and from the same Yarra Valley vineyard, but made to suit the casual `easy drinking` consumer. Clear varietal character of small red berry fruits, medium bodied and finishing with fine soft tannins.

This is a very classy Barossa Shiraz, the inaugural vintage of the flagship Eight Uncles Shiraz.  Highly rated, see below and at its peak over the next year, this represents superb value.

"A dense ruby/purple-tinged offering exhibiting attractive notes of blackberries, damp earth, fresh mushrooms, and pepper. Ripe, heady, tasty, and supple..." 89 points BEST BUY Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate

...a complex nose of leather, mint, mocha coffee, white pepper and blackberry. The Shiraz component contributes to a soft and complex palate building to a lingering mint and white pepper finish. An outstanding cool climate wine with depth, complexity and drinkability

Deliciously juicy front palate that exhibits ripe berries, spice and amazing length. The palate just lingers beautifully leaving a sensation to empty the glass and drink the bottle! Wonderful balance for a youthful wine, showcasing creativity at it’s best.

A fine example of cool climate Australian Shiraz with a vibrant nose of dark cherries, violets, a hint of clove and pepper and delicate cedar oak and tastes of dark chocolate and cherry fruit, forest berries, a touch of peppery spice.

Robert Parker Rating 91 ... the flagship Binder Mitchell wine.

This traditional Barossa Wine blends the plum and spice of shiraz with the berry and gamey characters of Grenache and the earthy Mourvedre. Paired with roasted red meat this is a knockout.
