Affordable, Australia, Grenache, Presswork, Shiraz

I love affordable. It also helps when affordable is delicious, juicy and has a lasting, spice blend and jam finish. They did Grenache right!  If you are looking for McLaren 2012 Grenachesomething different, this is worth a try. We’re having it for dinner tonight with Lamb meatballs Moroccan style. $7.99

 

Presswork is a fine winery that allows you to savor really good wine for a fraction of the cost. Everyday drinking at its’ finest.  If you tried the Grenache, now it’s time to move on to the bigger and bolder Shiraz. It‘s a Shiraz in the true Aussie style; very fruit forward and big on nose and flavor palate. It has the savory richness of a Syrah but with the ripeness of the fruit coming through. Very enjoyable wine. We had it with Chipotle pepper marinated chicken and it really held its’ own with the heat of the pepper. $7.99
