General: Cold and rainy day called for a Shiraz (even if the label is shockingly bad)
Varieties: Shiraz, Viognier
Region/G.I.: Central Victoria
Alcohol: 14.4%
Bouquet: It smelt "dense" with plum-fruit and some spice in equal measure. More restrained than I expected
Flavour: It has a strong mid-palette, with vanilla and black pepper in the finish. It is very mild and gentle - the antithesis of blow-you-head-off South Australian Shiraz.
Points: 83
Notes: Good but not exciting. It's nice to try this style for a change but I was looking for a little more complexity and weight. Maybe I'm just a heathen. It was about $12 (216 Kc) through a wine club. I'll try others in their range.
