The St. Hallett Shiraz from the Barossa valley is a very, very good value indeed at $15….it has tastes of blackberry, plum and vanilla as well as a touch of peppery taste as well. It’s a Shiraz that is very enjoyable as it is, and the reason I chose it is that I would be most surprised if that wine could be improved. We tested it in the Sonic Decanter and much to my surprise the nuances of the nose and aroma were quite lifted and it was a more enjoyable wine in that respect. But, it was also much more enjoyable on the palate. In fact the Sonic Decanter improved the tannins considerably! It was a much more enjoyable wine to drink! There was a bit more volume in the mouth so it seems to have a bit more length and finish.
