Stellar Shiraz Only $15.99 – R Wines ‘CR Ebenezer’
“R Wines that make it to the shelf are not merely sound and well-made, but are stylish, compelling, hand-crafted and peerlessly delicious.”
2007 R Wines Chris Ringland ‘CR Ebenezer’ Shiraz – SALE $15.99 (Reg. $19.99)
Hoo doggies, does THIS wine over-deliver! Today we’ve got a super deal on another seriously great value shiraz from The Grateful Palate and superstar winemaker Chris Ringland. Normally $19.99, this baby is on sale for only $15.99, 20% off the regular price!
The CR boasts hedonistic notes of violets, licorice, vanilla, blackberry liqueur and espresso that way over-deliver in satisfaction for the price. This is a bold, classic Barossa Valley shiraz that drinks more like a $50 wine (heck, it may drink better!) It hits on all cylinders with succulent fruit, a juicy mid-palate, a super long finish and a plush texture. We tasted this wine over four days against all kinds of worthy contenders. Quite simply, the CR Ebenezer spanked everything else on the table!
The very talented Chris Ringland, who has probably earned more RP 100 point scores for his wines than any other Aussie winemaker, sources fruit for the CR from his favorite Barossa sub-region, Ebenezer. Fruit from this area provides the backbone for many of the Barossa’s most famous wines, like the E&E ‘Black Pepper’ and Rockford ‘Basket Press’ Shiraz. The lean soils and slightly cooler temperatures provide shiraz from this area with a minerally, structured spine wrapped by the rich fruit that the Barossa is known for.
You know that we taste a whole lot of wine here at JJ Buckley and you know we appreciate a great quality-price-ratio. That’s where the CR Ebenezer Shiraz kills it! If you don’t think this is the best shiraz you’ve had for less than $16, let us know asap. Enjoy!

AUSTRALIA – SOUTH AUSTRALIA – BAROSSA VALLEY
2007 R Wines Chris Ringland ‘CR Ebenezer’ Shiraz – SALE $15.99 (Reg. $19.99)
JJ Buckley, Nov 2009: “Chris Ringland’s latest releases are classic examples of the new approach to winemaking in the Barossa Valley. The nose is a refreshing, lively aroma of dark cherries wrapped around a deep core of graphite and stone. Later, scents of roasted coffee, spice and tar appear. Like any good Barossa shiraz, the midpalate is juicy, but the wine never gets syrupy thanks to integrated acids that frame the finish. This is no simple fruit bomb -savory herbs and spicy tannins intermingle with that deep cherry note found in the bouquet. For a rich wine, there is still a lot of packed fruit yet to be revealed. Examples tasted over three days had the wine slowly revealing the concentrated flavors sampled at day one. A very sophisticated wine for the price!” – Chuck Hayward
