Something to try: 2003 Heartland Stickleback Red

Peter Dietsch, The Canberra review
 Apr 2005

One of the best examples you can buy at the moment is a new wine which has just come out of South Australia. It is called Heartland Stickleback Red, and it is full of exuberant sweet fruit. It is sugary and lollyish, but it is crammed with flavour. It is a three way blend of cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and grenache. It is made by Ben Glaetzer, who is one of the emerging superstars of Australian wine. And, best of all, it is available in bottle shops for well under fifteen dollars a bottle.
