Charles Shaw Blend California Shiraz

Ahh. Refuge of the financially challenged. Or maybe you just broke your wine budget for the month and are telling yourself you'll change. Tastes like Netflix and the next day at work.

for $3.75?! heck yes. I'd even buy it for $7. definitely not a high-end wine, but for those nights where a few glasses are in order, this is the perfect wine to indulge in without feeling guilty on price. I've only had the shiraz and the white zinfandel, can't speak for the rest.

Fine for the price but would rather spend $7 on a better bottle. The color is lighter than typical Shiraz and the feel is thin and light.

This is a great wine for $3. Cheap enough you can cook with it, but nice enough to still drink a glass. I have tried all of the Two Buck Chuck over the years and it is hard to beat the value. This 2015 vintage Shiraz was best after it was allowed to breathe.

Not bad. Enjoyed on February 15, 2018.

Dark red in color with a wide white rim.
Red fruits on the nose with cherries, blueberries, boysberries, minerals,metals and light peppercorn.

Light to medium bodied.

Bitter on the attack and semi sweet on the mid palate with cherries, green pepper, red currants and black pepper.

Spices on the finish with flabby tannings.

Not good enough to buy again. Their Cabernet is better.
12.5% alcohol by volume.

Acidic, full bodied but light/ever so slightly sweet after taste

the famous 2 buck chuck. Dark ruby, little acidity, and little bit on the sweet side. raspberries and blueberries. almost flat

Sorrel, leather, musky smell, color ruby, taste is berry with raspberry mostly, leather, burlap sack, green grape frawns at end, tann over acid at end

Cloying, astringent Shiraz a little peppery - “Two-Buck Chuck” (now $3.99 at grocery store)
