Grape Varieties: Shiraz (Syrah)
Grape Varieties: Shiraz (Syrah)
Obtained from: Purchased at Total Wine & More
Price: $25.00
Wino4Life Category: Weekend Wine
Aeration before tasting: Just a swirl or two, no special aeration.
Cork Condition: Screw Top - no defects or issues.
Appearance: Wine is clear and dark dark Australian Shiraz purple with a water white rim.
Aroma: Very aromatic, with a ton of dark fruit like blackberry, plus some chocolate and vanilla. Nothing disappointing here.
The Grade: I give this one an A. If you love the big fruit style of much Australian Shiraz, then this is a great example - as good as more expensive examples. Do take the time to aerate a bit before serving to tame those tannins, or keep it tucked away for a while. Most importantly - enjoy!
