Kelly’s Revenge Provides Good Choices for Those on a Budget

Kelly’s Revenge is a brand new series of wines from Australia that have just been released. The wines aren’t completely over the top, but for those who want decent wines for under $10 – and trust me, there are a lot of bad ones in this category – I think you’ll find them to be tough to beat.

The 2005 Shiraz (about $6) is a lighter style Aussie red, but it carries with it all the requisite flavors and spices you’d expect from this varietal. It’s full of red cherry and berry flavors, a bit of pepper and fairly soft tannins.

Also currently available is the 2006 Chardonnay (also about $6) which has a bit of a citrus aroma, plently of crisp, apple flavors and touches of oak on the finish. Pleasant, tasty and great for sipping when slightly chilled.

The winery also currently offers a 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon for the same price. Look for Kelly’s Revenge wines at the Cost Cutter shopping center on Lakeway Drive in Bellingham.
