Cat Amongst the Pigeons
Fat Cat Barossa Shiraz
Barossa, South Australia, Australia

A few posts back you may have spotted my tasting note on the new Cat Amongst The Pigeons Fat Cat Eden Valley Chardonnay - this is it’s counterpart, a 2017 Barossa Valley Shiraz.
A big thanks to Dialouge PR for sending this sample over. Fizzy and Crackle weren’t too fussed on the wine (more for me haha) but they thought it looked pretty cool beside their Lazy Cat Hammock 😍
This wine and the Fat Cat range can be found at Dan Murphy’s and BWS for $29.
I found it a deep garnet colour in the glass with a purple tinge. On the nose it made me think of peppered blackberries, oak wood, spiced chocolate and fruit. It really made me think of Black Forest. In the mouth it’s juicy with a smooth texture and is easy drinking. It has a lovely black cherry finish.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Naturally being the crazy cat lady that I am, this wine appealed to me. I am also partial to Barossa Shiraz so it’s a win-win really. The bottle comes in a gift-box Art Deco tube which ups the fancy factor of the presentation - it’d make a great gift. It’s $29 at Dan Murphy’s and BWS.
It’s a super dark red colour in the glass with notes of earth, dates and tobacco on the nose. In the mouth it has plenty of fruitiness (think plums and blackberries) and a sprinkling of spice. Incredibly easy drinking.

Purple tinge in colour, smooth but the taste is not very complicated at the end

Jun 25th, 2019Bought this over 12 months ago and sat on it. Glad I did. Good fruit and spice up front, blueberry lingering finish. Yes, this is good.

Nice medium bodied wine with a smooth finish. Perfect for a relaxed evening with the family.
