The new vintage of this very popular wine continues to deliver richness and depth rarely seen at $15, even in today’s over saturated market place.Its comic strip inspiration reflects the 'good ol' fashioned fun' of the 1950's: On one side, Jane, a gorgeous red head with a hibiscus in her hair, longs for the attention of the gallant air force Captain. Turning the bottle, the Captain declares he's just spotted 'a genuine Bobby Dazzler' (Aussie slang for a 'real beauty'). Unfortunately, he and his mates have their minds on other things - namely a new Shiraz they’re now tasting and Jane is left with no alternative but to join the party! More importantly, the charisma of the label actually extends to what's inside the bottle. The Bobby Dazzler Shiraz is characterised by Ben Riggs' now trademark, exuberant, 'joosy', full flavoured style and offers velvet smooth tannins and a complexity of aroma and flavour unexpected at this price point. While not specifically created to target a particular market demographic, the wine (and the label) will no doubt appeal to the young or the young at heart and will not be easily forgotten.

An exuberant full bodied red that delivers outstanding value.

Totally opaque black crimson colour with deep black crimson hue. Excellent perfumed lift with aromas of ripe blackberry, dark plum, liquorice, confectionary and spice. Full bodied possessing excellent richness for it’s price point the palate boasts a voluptuous flavour profile of ripe blackberry and liquorice followed by some dark plum and confectionary. Spicy back palate. Velvet smooth tannins. Superb concentration and depth with very long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice, confectionary and spice.
