The Original Martin's Pick Up
Shiraz
Australia
Color is light clear ruby, really light considering she is Shiraz. Nose of cherry jam, berries, spice, a bit leafy and grassy, a bit vanilla and a bit biting in the nasal cavity. Taste is quite sweet and mellow, tangerine, and zest in the background. No tannins. Almost too sweet for me. The content is quite solid. Aftertaste of a bit more cherry note. On par but above average for sweetness loved.

Rated 8.6. Truly an 8, but a 9.5 for the price. Enjoyed win some bbq. Nice fruit, relatively smooth, not complex but easy drinking and great value

Perfectly acceptable, and definitely a cut above a more commonly available Shiraz, without being too complicated. Drank 1 November 2017.

Especially considering the price, great wine! Medium-bodied beauty with lots of dark fruits and a little pepper.

TotalWine $6.99->5.63 coupon Not as bold as other Shiraz, but good mild flavor. Would buy again.
