Wine Review: "the Shiraz-Cabernet Blend wasn't that much different from the straight Shiraz. With a little more ripe blueberry sweetness balanced by savory dill flavors, this bottle was our favorite of the blended options. If you like the Shiraz on its own, this would be a good alternative, especially served with a tomato-and-meat-sauced pasta dish." (Seema Gunda).
Wine Folly: Pg.172, as described in the wine fully this shiraz was very rich and powerful. Of the common flavor descriptors for Shiraz, I could taste the green peppercorn the most. I was not able to pick up on any flavors of Tabaco or chocolate.
My Review: Overall, I thought this wine was decent. Not my favorite but also not the worst one I have tried. I did enjoy the full body of this shiraz, however, it was slightly tannic for my liking. I also found it interesting how much spice I could taste in the wine. I had this wine without any food, however, after tasting it I think I might enjoy it better when paired with a meal.
