Southeast Australia, 2007 $5.50-7For the price, all of the yellow tail wines are reasonably good. The Shiraz is probably my favorite as it is one of their dryer wines; some of the other reds get a little more sweet than I find ideal. Strong dark fruit when it first hits your palate, almost too "jammy" tasting, but then it has quite a kick mid-mouth. Finishes again fruity and sweet, but well balanced with smooth tannins. Definate bbq wine.
Bottom line: For the price, this wine is fantastic. Even Wine Spectator rated the '05 with 90 points!

That's my favorite cheap wine! I like the mixed ones too, but they too sweet for more than one glass.
Do you think Wine Spectator is usually accurate (based on your opinion)?
