I tried this wine paired with deer and shrimp raclette, I was very pleased with the taste although I served it slightly warmer than optimum.  The Ijalba is a dry garnet coloured wine with intense woody flavors, spicy and fruity scents with good tannins.  Overall a nice wine to have on hand, in fact I will be adding some to my cellar for tasting over the next few years.

First launched in Australia in 2007, this wine has just arrived in North America and will first be introduced in Quebec.
Three Vines is a blend of three grape varieties - Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. Shiraz and
Cabernet Sauvignon are perhaps the best known blend among Australian wines, as the
smoothness and fruit flavour of Shiraz is complemented by the structure
of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
    The innovative twist to this wine is the addition of Tempranillo - one of Spain's most revered grape varieties
 - which now also thrives in South Eastern
Australia. Elements of intensity and richness with
notes of cherry and spice are lend to the final blend by the Tempranillo. Overall very good quality wine with a rich full flavour.
