Shiraz

Very opaque on first pour. It's a very light maroon colour. It has a strong, sharp, sweet scent. It's not complimentary to a Shiraz. On first taste it has a strong sense of an artificial sweetness which isn't countered by a body. The label describes a soft oak and long tannin which isn't reflective of the flavour. It almost tastes like a flat berry cruiser or strong berry cordial.

It would be perfect for a fruit punch, but not as a sipping Shiraz.
