Jim Barry - The Lodge Hill Shiraz

Last night we had a bottle of Jim Barry The Lodge Australia Shiraz 2008. It was £12 from Portland Wines and has a Gold international award, which does not mean it is the best but does mean it will at least be OK. The vineyard the wine is from is the highest in the Clare Valley at 480m. We thought it was a jolly nice wine with a lot of tannin and flavour it was good with steak. We would recommend it with beef or game.
