One Wine Per Week becomes two wines this week, as I had the opportunity of having this blend that consists of 60% Shiraz, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc.There were powdered cocoa, plum and spice in the aromas. On the palate I tasted lots of lush berry fruit, dark chocolate and oak. This wine was full-bodied, with a lush texture, soft tannins and a medium-length aftertaste.
It wasn't shy by any means. It comes right out and introduces itself to you!
Several reviewers on Cellar Tracker complained about a high alcohol level. I could feel it but taste or aroma-wise, I did not think it was overpowering as some others felt.
For $11.49 from Costco, I'd say this wine has very good QPR. Two thumbs up.
And here's the YouTube video. I noticed a few from previous posts have already been deleted by the YouTube police but that's just the way it is, I suppose. Meanwhile, if you can't see the screen below, please click here to go to the YouTube page.
