What do you drink with tom kha soup? I wasn’t feeling particular inspired in terms of food and wine matching, so just opened a bottle I felt like drinking. The 2005 version of this wine gave me great pleasure on numerous occasions.

Just tasting this now in and amongst some shiraz under $20 for an article. I like it. Meaty, peppery with sweet red fruits to smell but much drier on the palate. Lot of value here for under $20.

It’s a very tasty wine indeed, and excellent value. You’re right that the sweetness on the nose translates to a much drier, more savoury palate. Did you also find the fruit was a bit “soft focus”?
They’re not really in the mainstream “Aussie Shiraz” style, but I do like these medium bodied expressions of the grape, almost Pinot-like in their intensity and lightness of foot. They make one think O’Shea was onto a good thing with his Pinot/Shiraz blends.
No. I thought it had good cut and style.
Mine (and Campbells) wine is out soon (April) – 2006 Mountain X Shiraz Pinot from the Hunter. Quite proud of it. First of a line of Shiraz Pinot blends. 2007 another Hunter and 2008 will see a Yarra added (made by Franco of Hoddles).

Perhaps it was the bottle — I noticed a bit of variation in the 2005 version too.
I didn’t know you were producing a wine, how exciting! And a Shiraz Pinot blend too. Do let me know how to procure a bottle when the time comes.
