Iron Horse, Shiraz, Barossa Valley, South Australia, 2014

With a friendly image of a tractor on the label, it's not difficult to work out what the 'iron horse' is here. And like the machine, this full-bodied, chocolately red is a solid, honest and reliable drop, full of rich, forward dark bramble fruit and a lick of pepper spice. Not overly complex, but well made and well priced. Drink with a suitably autumnal plate of sausage and mash.
