2008 Stump Jump Shiraz (Australia)
2008 Stump Jump Shiraz ($8.99)
This is the juice to last you all winter, a $10 bottle with a bushel of flavor. This Aussie Shiraz has more plums than most fruit pies, jammy from the nose all the way through the palate to the end, as if they’d come off the trees and berry bushes at the last minute. Ripe with hints of cinnamon, pepper and licorice, the favorite candy of Oz, and surprisingly soft. Maybe D’Arry and Chester Osborne got your attention with a Top 100 nod from Wine Spectator (No. 82), Winery of the Year honors from Wine & Spirits or just the great names; it’s a teddy bear in a red ribbon, and a great value.

This stuff is a terrific bargain…juicy! I have opened no fewer than 4 bottles in the last two weeks.
