Review (from Rok Mezgec at vivino.com): "2.8/5. A fresh Australian Shiraz. Medium intensity, black fruit notes, plum blackberry blackcurrant, pepper spice touch, vanilla oak character. Medium tannins, smooth but not a lot of content and length. A touch of leather. Correct lunch wine."
My Review: We had this wine at room temperature, and we did not have it with any food. When I first smelled the wine, I smelled cherry with hints of spices and oak. When I tasted the wine, I got flavors of plum, blackberry, and blueberry. I also thought that the wine was full of spices that gave it flavor that I was not used to. This wine felt very dry to me, and I didn't think it was sweet at all. I thought that the wine was on the more acidic side, and it had a medium to full body. Overall, I did not enjoy this wine as much as I have others in this class. However, I have never had any other shiraz or Syrah wines, so I am not sure if this wine (that was very cheap) is an accurate representation of them. So I plan to try other wines before I establish an opinion on the variety.
