D'arenberg Shiraz/syrah
Two D'Arenberg Shiraz bottles, hand picked and waiting in Commack.
The story behind D'arenberg
Shiraz is the Australian name for the same grape the French call syrah, and McLaren Vale, south of Adelaide, is one of its warmest homes. Wines from there tend to run dark and generous, with plum and blackberry fruit, a peppery edge, and soft tannin that makes them easy to drink young.
We keep just two D'Arenberg bottles on the shelf in Commack, the everyday Stump Jump Shiraz and a 2006 Dead Arm Shiraz. Small stock, so call ahead at (631) 343-7200 before you drive over.

Which D'arenberg is right for you?
The Stump Jump Shiraz is $10.99 a bottle, a fair price for an everyday McLaren Vale red. The 2006 Dead Arm Shiraz is $64.99, a bottle with some age on it for a dinner worth marking. Both are limited to what we have on hand, so call (631) 343-7200 to confirm before you come in.
Affordable, soft and peppery, works with takeout or a grilled steak.

D'arenberg cocktails and pairings
Shiraz likes fat and char, so keep the food simple and let the wine do the work.
