Mount Langi Ghiran 'Billi Billi' Shiraz 2021

BEST RED IN STORE UNDER $20 

Mostly (83%) Grampians fruit, though there are contributions from Heathcote, Swan Hill and Bendigo. This wine is often a happy hunting ground for value, but this release is a particularly good version of it. It's alive with peppery spice and fluid with plum-shot flavour, and while it's medium in weight (at most) it feels silken and satisfying. The spice notes here, wow, they're gorgeous. 93 points, drink to 2028, Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion.
