Steve Pannell's self-described “house style” Shiraz is a bright, fruity and modern bottling. Red and black berries bounce from the glass, with licorice, vanilla and a soy sauce-like umami character far behind. The palate is as light and juicy as the nose suggests, held firmly in place with chalky tannins. The only downside is a slightly cooked, sour fruit note at the finish, but overall this is an approachable and varietally correct drop. 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.
