Street Cred
McLaren Vale 2013 Shiraz
Those stalking the Grocery Outlet wine aisle this week will be glad to find a bold Aussie shiraz. The Street Cred 2013 McLaren Vale Shiraz ($5) hails from south Australia’s Kangarilla Road winery. A deep garnet red, this wine packs aromas of jammy blackberry, blackcurrant and hints of vanilla bean. Dark cherry flavors and hints of licorice bring forth medium tannins that take a lingering ride on the palate. This daring red from Down Under will pair well with a drunken round of juicy Aussie beef burgers.
