Rosemount Estate is a large Australian winery that produces multiple levels of many varietals.\u00a0 Their Diamond Label is their entry level series.\u00a0 This Shiraz was the first Aussie wine I was introduced to about 15 years ago and I was amazed at how good it was for the price point.<\/p>\n
Rosemount has a hit with the 2010 vintage. \u00a0It recently received 89 points from the Wine Spectator, and even better yet I found it for $5.99.\u00a0 It is widely available with 110,000 cases produced so you should be able to find this for between $6-$8.\u00a0 This is a wine that should be drunk now through the next couple of years.<\/p>\n
It is very smooth and fresh, delivering classic Australian fruit.\u00a0 I served this for 3 other couples last week when we cooked burgers on the grill and it was a big hit.\u00a0 When I told them the price their eyes got pretty wide.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A note about wine ratings: The Wine Spectator uses a rating scale as follows:<\/p>\n
\u2022 80-84 = Good<\/p>\n
\u2022 85-89 = Very Good<\/p>\n
\u2022 90-94 = Outstanding<\/p>\n
\u2022 95-100 = Classic<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So you can see that this vintage of the Rosemount Shiraz Diamond Label is considered very good and on the verge of outstanding by those who evaluate wines for a living.\u00a0 Enjoy.<\/p>\n
