The Wine Witch always likes validation of her opinions (don’t we all?). Anyway the Wine Spectator recently gave Wishing Tree Shiraz 89 points. I would consider this a rave review from this esteemed publication for a wine under $10.
This is a wine that starts slow and then builds as you sip. Nice and purple in the glass with the expected cherries in the nose. The flavor has a pleasant tartness with the blackberries winning out over the initial cherries. A bit of a tannin bite at the end, but that smooths out with a couple of swirls. You gotta love the screw cap. Obviously a wine to buy and consume in short order. A great red for your next barbeque or just to enjoy on its own.
If you are partial to Australian Shiraz, the 2006 Wishing Tree Shitz is one to seek out.
