Variety: Shiraz
Region: South-Eastern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2011
Price: $21 but it was Wine Wednesday so $10.50
Website review:The color has bright youthful purples and dark red, with an aroma of mixed berries with peppery, spicy overtones. On the palate the wine has very sweet fruit with fine grained tannins, excellent fleshy middle palate and a long soft finish.
My review: Well if I would have thought about it, I could have made this a wine dinner and got a lot more points, but oh well... I'm still building my wine inventory for future reference :). My friends and I went to Boudreaux's for Wine Wednesday and we each bought a bottle of wine and an apetizer for the table, so this is the first of those. This was a great wine! It smelled buttery (if you haven't noticed, that's my new thing haha everything smells or taste buttery to me) and fruity: black corrent and fig"ish". It was very easy to drink. No abbrasive tannins. Smooth. It had nice berry overtones. When I ate it with the fried alligator, the buttary, creamy aspect was intensified. I'd totally buy this one again. <3
Food: fried aligator
