2006 D'Arenberg Laughing Magpie Shiraz-Viogner

Once again, I went with my go-to choice for accompanying a steak, the 2006 D'Arenberg Laughing Magpie. I believe this wine has the distinction of being the first one I've written about three times, and I'm pleased to report it still has yet to disappoint.

I'm not going to add much to the prior notes, only to say that I continue to enjoy this as a top Australian wine that doesn't go too overboard in it's profile, instead coming as something between the Old World Northern Rhone style and the full-on in your face style of many Australian wines today. Still holding at about $22 in the Atlanta market, I continue to buy.
