The 2017 Shiraz Bella's Garden is a real gem and well worth seeking out for readers who love high-class Barossa Shiraz. Deep purple-hued with a kaleidoscope-like array of red and black fruits, ground pepper, spice, herbes de Provence, and cured meats, this beauty hits the palate with no hard edges, remarkable purity of fruit, and a great finish. It's impossible to resist today, and I see no need to delay gratification.

Ripe and silky, the 2017 Bella's Garden Shiraz boasts oodles of black cherries layered with loamy-earthy notes. It's full-bodied and expansive but stays balanced, with supple tannins lingering on the finish.

Wild berry flavors mingle with forest floor, cigar box, black tea and spice notes. Plump and juicy, showing harmony on the finish. Drink now. 6,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.
