General: It's a good time of the year for Shiraz. I discovered after buying this that it is a "home brand" for one of the big supermarket chains. As Shiraz goes, it's fine. Fine but not great.
Variety: Shiraz
Region/GI: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale, SA
Alcohol: 14%
Bouquet: Fleshy, ripe plums with some secondary tones of woody oak
Flavour: Silky smooth. Fruit matches that of the nose. Light-to-medium body. Nice dry finish. Not complex but enjoyable
Points: 82
Notes: Quite a nice bottle of wine. It does not stand out as remarkable and given the choice here, it may be some time before I return to it. Discounted at $11 (187 Kc) it's a fair price.
