2005 Hesketh Shiraz Usual Suspects
In keeping with wines that are good for Summer, a Shiraz should be very high on your list. These wines pair great with any kind of barbequed meat, perfect for firing up the grill. Well if it's any country that knows a good Shiraz, it's the Australians. Noted Australian wine critic Tim White gave this Shiraz, the 2005 Hesketh Usual Suspects, 93 points. If you've never heard of Tim White, he's among the more noted wine critics in Australia, right up there with James Halliday. So, a 93 point rating from Tim is certainly a great seal of approval. This Shiraz is definitely worth picking up. Plus, if you get a case, we'll throw in free shipping!

Australian Wine Critic, Tim White 93 Points
A bit pongy to begin but blows off quickly to reveal plenty of cassis and spice and some black pepper, which is unusual for McLaren Vale shiraz. Some peach kernel too. Attacks with cassis and plums, and some more candied peach-like stuff. Perfectly balanced dry tannins balance the sweet fruit and there's subtle oak toastiness too. A damn tasty shiraz.
