Wine Pick of the Week

By Natalie MacLean

Elderton Friends Shiraz 2011
Barossa, South Australia, Australia

Incredible concentration, depth and power for the price. Aromas of blackberries and black currants in a lovely weave of full-bodied weight and velvet texture. Be the hero of the evening with this robust wonder from the prestigious Barossa region. Liquid opulence. Pair this with roasted lamb, grilled steaks, meaty gourmet pizza, black bean soup, blue cheese.
