I think the name is supposed to remind us of Coonawarra. The bottle says "Coorong" means "long neck" and refers to the long peninsula that runs along the southern part of Australia. This bottle gets a Limestone Coast appellation. It also has a "Reserve" marking that can signify the best from a winery. Interestingly this was bottled by Wine Trees, American Canyon, Ca. So it may have been shipped bulk(?). We found this wine to have deep red color and a very light nose. There was not any huge berry taste and only a little of the pepper taste we like so much in Shiraz. The tannin and oak of a big red were the main features. My wife liked this one more than I did. We put it in the drinkable category, but not very far in...
At $4.99, this was a not a great deal compared to some others at Gross Out. Certainly not a winning ticket.
