Tasted at a private tasting with Trevor Jones, hosted by The Butcher Block in Tampa (www.butcherblocktampa.com). Ripe plum and blueberries on the nose. More plum and dark chocolate on the palate. Not overwhelming like other bargain-priced shiraz. Chewy tannins, moderate acidity. A strong alternative to many of the other, too fruity Shiraz at the same $14 price point. |
