The least expensive red here, the 2005 Clarry’s Red is an old barrel-aged blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Shiraz. It is an Australian version of a French Cotes du Rhone on steroids. Delicious sweet cherry, strawberry, and framboise aromas along with hints of white pepper and spice soar from the glass of this yummy red. Full-bodied, seductive, and filled with pleasure, it is a classic, hedonistic, fruit-driven effort that admirably displays the purity of Barossa Valley fruit. Drink this unmanipulated, uncomplicated 2005 over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
