Wolf Blass made a big splash years ago when he first started making wine in South Australia’s famous Barossa Valley. He changed the way wine was made and how it was promoted. Today, his wines–under the Blass label–still show his passion for wine. I recently tasted three wines from Blass‘s latest, the Reserve Release label: 2016 Reserve Release Chardonnay, 2016 Reserve Release Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2016 Reserve Release Red Blend. Great varietal character on both the Chardonnay and Cabernet, and the Shiraz-dominated Red Blend shows off classic Barossa Valley fruit. Beaut Aussie wines–great price: 15.00
