Variety: Shiraz
Region: McLaren Vale
Country: Australia
Vintage: 2012
Price: $23, on sale for $9.95 (STEAL! Which is why I bought a bottle...)
Shop Review: "Bright purple. Exotic, expansive aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, vanilla and cola, along with a peppery overtone and a hint of violet pastille. Broad, fleshy, appealingly sweet boysenberry and cherry liquer flavors show excellent depth and a seamless texture. Finishes juicy and long, with building spiciness, an echo of blue fruit and round tannins."
My Review: This was a dark ruby color. I tasted cherry, oak, and spices. I really liked this wine. It had a GREAT balance. I ended up buying a bottle! YUMMMM
Pairing: OF COURSE! I asked someone who works at the store what he suggests I pair with it. He said he loves to pair Shiraz with bbq ribs. I went to the bbq place on campus and got pulled pork and beans and MY OH MY IT WAS A WONDERFUL PAIR. It really brought the smokiness out of the wine. This wine is so delicious and such a good value, it's hard to pass up! DEF recommend.
