Pikes Clare Valley "Los Companeros" 2020 Shiraz/Tempranillo

90 Points from Wine Enthusiast

The Pikes Clare Valley "Los Compañeros" 2020 Shiraz/Tempranillo is a vibrant and expressive red blend that captures the sun-drenched character of South Australia's Clare Valley. It opens with a burst of ripe red berries—think raspberry and cherry—layered with aromatic scrubby herbs and warm spices. The palate is medium-bodied with plump fruit and a subtle tug of chalky tannins that lend structure and finesse. Its juicy, savory profile makes it a versatile companion to a range of dishes, particularly Moroccan lamb, grilled meats, and spiced vegetable tagines, where its fruit and spice interplay enhances the depth of flavor.

This vintage earned a solid 90 points from Wine Enthusiast and was designated a “Best Buy,” highlighting its exceptional value and quality. With its balanced blend of Shiraz’s richness and Tempranillo’s earthy elegance, the wine continues to build on Pikes’ reputation for crafting expressive, food-friendly reds that reflect the unique terroir of Clare Valley.
