Jackson-Triggs Grand Reserve Shiraz 2010 ($20, winery, LCBO, Wine Rack stores, 90 points) — There are a lot of things going for this wine, not the least of which is the price, which, in part, is the reason it bested other higher scoring wines to make this list. It has a dark, menacing (in a good way) colour in the glass. It shouts bold and flavourful and delivers on both accounts. It’s so Rhone-like on the nose with boysenberry, blueberry, black currants, roasted meats and white pepper aromas. It rocks on the palate with big meaty red fruits, roasted Espresso bean, game, layers of spices and firm tannins that will soften with a little time in the cellar. An excellent Syrah at an attractive price.
