Wine review: A full bodied, juicy sweet palate with cherry, chocolate and plum flavors with a smooth finish.
My review: I liked this red wine; I would rank it a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. It had sweet, subtle aromas of dark berries and spices. It's rich flavor was dominated mostly by ripe berries and had hints of chocolate and spice. It was full bodied and balanced, with a good amount of sweetness, acidity, and heat, making for a very long and smooth finish. It also had a pretty good/high alcohol content of 13.5% but the alcohol was not overbearing. I did not pair this red with any food, and I'm pretty sure it was the first Shiraz I've tried, so I would probably try it or another type again soon.
