There are places in the world steeped in winemaking tradition, where special grapes are grown on scenic hillsides and in picturesque valleys by generations of knowledgeable winemakers who turn them into memorable wines. At Marcus James, we are dedicated to bringing you the finest of these wines. Australian Shiraz. Shiraz has been the most widely planted red grape in Australia since the nineteenth century, when cuttings from France's Rhone Valley Syrah vines were first brought over. Shiraz has emerged as Australia's signature varietal and is considered the finest red wine produced there. This 2000 South Eastern Australia Shiraz is velvety and refined. Ripe aromas of black cherry and blackberry layered with mint combine in a harmonious finish. Alc. 13% by vol.
