This is a blend of 55% Shiraz and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia. It claims that the alcohol content is 14.5%. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not quite buying that as I drank the whole bottle and barely felt it. But this is a decent wine, although I thought it would go well with a nice broiled steak, I say don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bother, as the wine and steak didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t complement each other as well as I thought they would. Now if I could just find some chocolate, I think that would do okay.<\/p>\n
This has a decent appearance, though not as dark as some American blends. The Aroma has a nice dark cherry aroma but after that, not much else. Some suggest raspberry \u00e2\u20ac\u201c okay if you insist, although I think it is closer to dark cherry.<\/p>\n
The flavor is nice dark fruit, a bit of peppery spice, perhaps a touch of clove and blueberry. This is very nice, as I said; I drank the whole bottle in one setting. Reason enough in my mind to give it a second chance. I think rather than beef, that I might want to try it with barbequed chicken or perhaps even a spicy dish such as tacos or enchiladas.<\/p>\n
If you can find it, pick up a couple of bottles. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll not regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
