Palate: Incredibly soft and plush mouth feel. Like a mouth full of silk. Soft acid backbone and gentle tannins. Round and full bodied. This is a full feeling Australian Shiraz from the Barossa valley.
Finish: Green pepper and blueberry on the finish. Slight acidic resurgence at the sides of the tongue on the finish gives a memory of youthfulness.
Overall: I paid $16 for this at the local wine store. Its delightfully full and soft mouth feel makes it uniquely suited for drinking now. Wait much longer and its structure will edge into flabbiness. Fruit forward nose combined with gentle finish and softness in the mouth make this an excellent introduction to Barossa Valley Shirazzes for those who want to branch out. Raise a glass!
