My Review:
Bright Magenta in color, this Shiraz features a warm leathery taste with almost no heat from the alcohol. Oddly enough, this red has a very industrial taste and smell, including: baby powder, leather shoes, and "new car." Towards the mid-end palate I do notice a light cherry, almost floral, fragrance. Not a bad combination for around $5! I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually enjoy the leathery taste, almost like licking a new coach bag! What could you want more out of a wine? While the Chocolate Box Shiraz remains my favorite, this isn't a bad choice for second place.
