Winery Review:
With flavor of black raspberry and pomegranate, our experienced winemakers have crafted this shiraz to an enticing, full-flavored wine with medium body and an impressive finish.
My Review:
I am still looking for that cheap wine that will be magically delicious... unfortunately this was NOT it. A dark purple-red in color, this Shiraz features a maple-syrupy sweet nose with hints of dark cherry. On the palate, this Shiraz lands rather ungracefully with strong heat from the alcohol, and oh wait, more cherry. I would say this wine was very off-balanced, and for the most part, all I could sense was the alcohol, and more cherry. Rather single noted, I would not recommend this wine to well, anyone. Definitely not feeling this Shiraz. In fact, I think it has made me steer away from purchasing Shiraz for a little while. A sad note in the wine book :( On a brighter note, I do enjoy the rather cute and catchy label.
