La Puerta 2008 Shiraz
La Puerta over-delivers again. The 2008 vintage is chock full of licorice, pepper, lavender, smoked meat and ripe cherry-prune—all classic syrah flavours. It’s full bodied, smooth and dense, with fine tannin. Very good flavour depth—simply amazing for a $10 wine. Buy a case to enjoy now and watch it age through 2013. LCBO 614636
