The Wild Ride Barossa Valley Shiraz Blend

Love this Kelvin Wine Thermometer, flashes green and tells my phone when it's ready! #millennial20
Deep ruby red. Layered nose with twigs, bramble berries, leather and peppercorn. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Quite a bit of pepper on the palate with notes of purple flowers, pepper, black raspberries and cherries. Solid acidity and medium to medium plus finish. Drink till 2019.

Decent Shiraz-Grenache blend... from Barossa, and from a respected high quality producer. Dark inky color, and an inviting nose of black peppercorn, gravel, leather, and Créme-de-Casis. The pallet is bright and rich, with a medium tannin and spicy, vanilla bean and dark cherry finish. Really good qpr wine that I would like to keep around as a table red!

Dark ruby in color with a purple rim.
Fruity on the nose with black berries, black currants, cherries, vanilla, wood, licorice, dark chocolate and black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with tart cherries, strawberries, blueberries, vanilla, cedar, tobacco, red currants, cedar, licorice, Coffee, dark chocolate, peppercorn and light cloves.
Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and black pepper.
This is a nice Shiraz blend. Drinking well now. Good with food too. A bit tart on the attack for me, though.
A Blend of 60% Shiraz, 20% Grenache, 20% Mataro.
15.5% alcohol by volume.

So this is a GSM rather than straight up Shiraz... very generous w/copious amounts of red & black fruit, just rich & extracted but unfortunately - hot. Yes, this was way too hot w/out of whack acidity - dunno if it was exposed to heat in its journey, and it wasn’t VA - we drank every drop, but I’ve had this before and it’s a delicious wine. Tait makes great juice.

Aug 8th, 2020Wow, the extraction on this is just unreal, thick rich viscous monster w/smooth voluptuous caressing tannins, copious quantities of ripe black/blue/cherry fruit subtly dusted with spice & pepper. Some secondary layers of menthol, licorice, & damp Earth appeared on second day.

G’day mate! A delicious blend, paired well with a geese plate, burger and even wings! Smooth and tasty from the first sip. Twist off top, didn’t even need time to breathe!

15.5. U get some of that in the nose. Some tobacco. Very jammy. Tannins dissipated with air. I feel like the Shiraz dominates even though it’s just 48%

Jun 25th, 20182.8. I was expecting something spicy; instead, this moderately priced Australian Shiraz was too fruity and almost sweet. On sale for $15.99, regularly $18.99.
