The Oliver family boasts a long lineage as winegrowers in McLaren Vale. Their label is headed up by the talented Corrina Wright, who does her family proud. The Shiraz is bursting with personality and a sense of place. Rhubarb, plum, mint, violet, chocolate and a meaty element envelop the senses, while in the mouth it's rich (this is McLaren Vale, after all) but focused less on power and more on layers of flavor and texture, like grilled rhubarb and myriad herbs and spices. A multidimensional Shiraz with ease and limpidity for drinking over the next few years. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
