Maker: Stimson Lake Vineyards
Variety: Shiraz – Cabernet

Our Rating: 8 out of 10

Boonaroo may be the name of Australia’s largest kangaroo… or a red wine that is worth more than its inexpensive price. Boonaroo Shiraz Cabernet 2001 has a fruity, spicy aroma. The flavor isn’t quite fruit forward, but is plummy and complex with balanced tannins and oak.

This is a pleasant wine that will convince your dinners guests that it’s a more costly bottle. We’ve had some difficulty finding this five-year old wine, so grab a bottle if you can.

  1. Thanks, rBlog cellar! I think the wines I look at are what lots of people actually drink every day, or would like to if the could pick the good ones and avoid the bad ones.

  2. I was glad to see a review that had a more experienced approach to this wine than I did. I did get the fruit and spice out of it but I think the tannins killed me at the finish. Something wasn’t right but it was still drinkable. I linked you on my review also.
