Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 92 points
"There are nearly 10,000 cases of the stunning 2004 Petite Sirah Heritage Clone. A dense ruby/purple hue is accompanied by glorious aromas of creme de cassis, vanilla, incense, crushed rocks, blackberries, and smoke. It is a full-bodied, tannic, chewy, rich, pedal-to-the-metal effort with low acidity as well as ripe tannin. The latter two components will make it difficult to resist, but it should age well for 15-20 years."

Set yourself a limit of how much you want to spend, and if you drink red wine yourself, think what country it comes from when YOU buy it, and then upgrade from there. If you don't ask the member of staff in the shop what their fave is, if they don't know go to another shop. although it is a cliche Oddbins seem to be the best at this. My personal favourite vineyard for all round quality is D'Arenberg from Oz and they start at about £8.00 and can cost up to £20-£25, with memorable names "Laughing Magpie". Or American winemaker Randall Graham makes brilliant (but quite pricey) wines with fantastic names such as "Cardinal Zin" "Le Cigare Volante" amongst others. Always check websites for full descriptions and take it from there.

complete bodied wine might want to be elderly and that brings up the fee. a great number of success looking complete bodies decrease priced wine. that is an oxymoron. It like in case you want low priced Champagne, you replace with sparkling Wine and that isn't any longer even close.

A full bodied red you could go in for a nice Burgundy or anything from Côte de Rhône, try Châteauneuf du pape, blended from some 13 different grape varieties.

Heres is my favorite and its a red wine called Shiraz especially the brand Woop Woop Shiraz from Australia. It is awesome!

Château Lafitte. Don't know the vintage years off by heart. Buying wine to impress someone is always a bit tricky. Ask your local wine merchant. Better still, ask their local wine merchant!

I have just finished an Australian Chiraz, bootiful. Why the web? Most offies do good quality wine.
