Australian folk hero and famous outlaw Ned Kelly had his last stand in the High Country of Eastern Victoria. Named for this Down Under Jesse James Kelly Country Shiraz comes from one of the many first rate wineries that have cropped up in this choice growing region of Western Australia. This oak-aged Shiraz comes from the outstanding 2005 vintage and it's spicy and bold like Ned Kelly himself. Forward and ready to enjoy...

A delicious and reasonably priced Shiraz. I call it "Old Man Shiraz" based upon the logo on the label. Great to drink with dinner or any evening.

I purchased this product b/c of the ratings it got from other Wine Express customers and because I liked the name and the price! Was very surprised how smooth and full bodied it was for that price. Delicious and would recommend it to others.

Not being a true fan of shiraz, I was mildy surprises to find it enjoyable. I am also beginning to enjoy shiraz more than in the past. I find Australian wines overall to be very good. This particular shiraz might not be as heavy/strong as others I've had. I prefer the heavier/thicker full-bodied wines. Some shiraz's possess this, some don't.

It was good, that's what counts. Thanks!

Was very positively impressed!!!

Found this Kelly very good for its price, it might get to be excellent in one or two years. I found that just the smoothness is missing.
