Easy to drink (of course, it's gamay!)
Light red color.
A bit of rasberry flavor.
Pretty high acidity.

This wine is a great value for its quality. I would match this wine with light appetizers for Middle-Eastern and Asian food.

2005 Kaesler Stonehorse Shiraz Barossa Valley

Score 7/10
WA Score 92
Price (my price) $30($30)

Very strong red purple color.
Strong tar aroma.
Flavor of blackcheeries and plums. Pretty spicy.

According to its website, the Kaesler produces win as old as 1893.
I had its limited edition of wine (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz) at one of my friends' house. This wine was just amazing, clearly one of my most favorite Aussie wine. So, I wanted to try different wine from Kaesler.
