St Huberts The Stag Victoria Tempranillo Shiraz 2020 $19.99

Inky-dark and glossy, this pepper-stacked sip is bursting with dark cocoa, liquorice, prunes, blackberry and cherry notes which roll across the tongue in tsunamis of taut tannins and fantastically fleshy textures. If you’re having lasagne, there’s also nothing better than a hearty, knee-wobblingly ribsticking red like this spice-soaked, dark plum and blackcurrant-stacked example from the cooler climes of Victoria to pair with it.
