Review #50 – Evans & Tate Redbrook Shiraz 2010

By Mark Law Leave a Comment

Evans & Tate Redbrook Shiraz 2010

I remember reading somewhere that while Western Australia may only produce 5% of the country’s wines it wins 30% of the medals during competition. I haven’t personally looked into the accuracy of this claim, but I can attest to the fact that wines from this region are generally passed over for those from, say, South Australia. This makes Western Australia a good place to find interesting things to try, if only one knows what to look for.
