Willow Bridge Estate Dragonfly Shiraz

If you’re into shiraz, love a bargain and out to try something different, here is your wine. Enticing aromas of violets waft over a deep core of black plum, black cherry and liquorice fruit. Exotic nuances of spice and black pepper add interest. Matured in new and old French oak barrels, the wood influence is well-integrated in notes of dark chocolate and finely textured tannins. It finishes long and well controlled, delivering complexity, presence and sheer joy that far outclass its price. $13 at Dan’s.
