Three Brothers 'Reunited' Shiraz 2009
Rated 93/100 & 5 Stars - Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit

"Unmistakably Shiraz and undeniably Australian, this is opulent and richly flavoured without being heavy. The nose is lifted displaying blackberry, dark plum, chocolate and a touch of mint characters. It's rounded and velvety on the palate with excellent intensity and plenty of supple tannins. At its best: now to 2014."
- Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit

Quite simply, there is no other under $15 aussie red wine on the market that matches the quality and flavour profile of this wine. The 2002 was the first vintage and was heralded as an instant success, finding comparison with early vintages of Penfold‘s Koonunga Hill, with subsequent vintages selling out in record time.

Winemaker Ben Riggs, formerly of Wirra Wirra, is generally considered amongst Australia’s great Shiraz winemakers and despite consulting to several distinguished producers, including Penny’s Hill, Pertaringa, Geoff Hardy and Tatiarra, as well as making wine on his own behalf under the 'Mr.Riggs' label, he remains a very pleasant and pragmatic fellow. This attitude is clearly reflected in the Three Brothers Shiraz, which demonstrates his mastery of the variety at any price point.
