Coffee Break Today[Coffee Break Today] Classic Australian Wines: Limestone Ridge is an excellent example of a shiraz cabernet blend with shiraz being the dominant grape. A consistent medal and trophy winner on the wine show circuit.

Wine Discussionhttp://community.livejournal.com/wine/208159.html [Wine Discussion] What's in your cellar?: I just have the one at the moment - I mean "Vintage Fortified Shiraz" - though some good locally produced 96's and 99's have just become available. Australia produces some simply sensational fortified wines, particularly our Muscats and Tokays from Rutherglen which are pretty much world beaters.

AceHighWine[AceHighWine] Wynns releases: producers to lunch for us to look at and it was interesting to compare the stylistic differences (though admittedly the Margaret River cabernet had only a limited amount of air time and we were not tasting out of great stemware) between the two, particularly those minty Coonawarran characters versus Margaret River’s telltale bay leaf and earthiness. While the tasting wasn’t controlled enough to come to any worthwhile conclusions, I will say that at the time of tasting, I enjoyed the approachability of the South Australian contingent but suspected the Margaret River drop would look better in five to eight years time.
