2005 Inkwell Wild Thing 92 points

Shiraz, McLaren Vale, $15


This is a big, powerful wine, but easy to drink because it's well balanced. The bouquet offers soaring blueberry, blackberry liqueur and layers of jammy dark fruit. As it opens up intense black pepper, chocolate and spice notes propel forward. This medium-bodied wine finishes off with silky smooth long finish. Drink this best buy now thru 2011.
