92 point wine..

Just rated in the new Wine Advocate

2007 Thorn Clarke Shotfire Shiraz...$19.99
One of our favorite wines in the store

"The 2007 Shotfire Shiraz was aged for 12-18 months in a mix of new and used French and American oak, 40% new. A saturated purple/black in color, this glass-coating effort has a nose of wood smoke, bacon, mineral, and blueberry that leaps from the glass. Rich and intense on the palate, it has layers of flavor, excellent balance, and a pure finish. It way over-delivers for its humble price. Drink it over the next six years."
Rated 92/100 The Wine Advocate



Some wines are just a flash in the pan, but our favorite Shotfire Shiraz is here to stay and one of the most consistent wines in the world!

The Shotfire is a great Shiraz. It's fantastic with a steak.
