Variety: Blend (Could not find grapes, but I assume Syrah was a main one)
Region: Southeastern, Australia
Country: Australia
Year: N/A
Price: 16.99
Winery Review: Vibrant hue with dense red core in colour. Strawberry leaf, blood plum, boysenberry & cherry notes with oregano and vanilla oak aromas. On the palate notes of dark chocolate appear with a full bodied and rich, yet subtle finish. The tannins are grippy, yet ripe and pleasing to drink balanced with the dark core of sweet fruit.
Wine Folly: Where there is great Syrah, there is also great Grenache and Monastrell (called Mataro here). You’ll find them all over South Australia, but definitely investigate McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley for great quality (p. 206).
My Review: This wine was dry yet still had some sweetness. I tasted dark notes of fruit and a peppery aftertaste. This is my first Australian wine, and I like the way theirs had multiple hints or fruits. Overall, enjoyable but pricy (2/5).
I did not taste this wine with any food.
