Rutherglen 2004 Shiraz/ Petite Sirah

This winery is quickly becoming near and dear to my heart (I fell in love with their Marsanne /Viognier blend a few weeks ago). This oddball blend may end up in our Eccentric Collection class (there is almost no Petite Sirah grown in Australia, after all) this wine fuses the rich blueberry/black pepper of the Sirah with the blackberry/white pepper of the Shiraz. Full of stuffing, too.
