Jim Jim The Down-Underdog Shiraz 2015
VINTAGES#: 682005 SHOP
This second label from Australia's iconic Hugh Hamilton is named to honour the winery's loyal dog and 'grape taster,' Jim Jim, who passed away in 2010. The wine was always made to emulate Jim Jim's enthusiasm for life. Crafted to offer red berry, vanilla and pepper in a full-bodied, approachably smooth package, this is a great value and a consistent performer. A versatile wine that will meet all your barbecue needs from hamburgers through thickly sauced ribs.

"E. Guigal's 2015 Côtes du Rhone marks a terrific return to form for this cuvée. Intense and peppery, with concentrated black cherry fruit, a medium to full-bodied palate and a long finish.”
- J. Czerwinski, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate. Learn More »»
