The Barry Bros. Shiraz Cabernet 2013 $23 ★★★★½
Tom and Sam Barry are the 20-somethings who made this little cracker that scooped the trophy for Champion Shiraz Cabernet blend at the Royal Queensland Show AND took out the Champion Shiraz Cabernet blend trophy at the Melbourne Wine Show last year. It’s a generous and juicy, highly succulent red that’s packed with plum, blackcurrant and bouquet garni goodness. A squeak of pepper and cocoa carries through on the finish, making it a dangerous combo with anything beefy. www.glengarrywines.co.nz
