Buckingham Estate Reserve Shiraz 2013

What makes this more interesting that your average Aussie Shiraz at this price is that it’s made from grapes grown in Western Australia, a cooler region than most elsewhere in Australia. What that does is concentrate the flavours in the wine. So there’s lots of quaffable black fruits and spice, but there’s also a kind of savouriness to it. Brilliant with tonight’s sausage and lentil casserole-type thing from the brilliant Crumbs cookbook.
