Oliver's Taranga 2005 Shiraz SASep07 is sealed under screwcap and will cost $28 when it is released in November. The bouquet shows coffee oak, vanilla, and dark fruits; it's clean and slightly lifted. The pure fruit and silky, dusty tannins are well crafted and balanced, providing a pleasant mouth feel. Ample-weight with a tight, solid construction, this lovely drop delivers red cherry on the uptake with milk chocolate and coffee oak, its finish is clean and long. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value, it's another terrific value wine.
