South Australia Shiraz
Blackberry jam, menthol cigarettes, and Twinkie cream. Not my jam but not overblown in any manner.

Sep 3rd, 2020This was the first Shiraz we reviewed and we will definitely be sampling Shiraz more often as we really enjoyed this bottle. This wine opens with notes of cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, with notes of black pepper on the backend. Chris felt the finish wasn't very long, but I thought there was a nice long finish. This wine is very dry. The tannins are very heavy. Read our full review here: http://wp.me/p5EPbt-6m

Oct 8th, 2015Cedar, pie spice, cigar tobacco, black pepper, faint hint of green bell pepper, jammy black fruit on the nose. Cranberry, plum, chewy red cherry, juicy mouthfeel with short finish but a bit of smoke and hint of black pepper lingering. Good one for food; should be perfect with pasta marinara or pizza.
