Tasting - Shotfire Barossa

Name: Shotfire Barossa
Variety: 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Shiraz
Region:Barossa
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $17.95

Winery Review: A whopper of a wine, it is deep ruby/purple and possesses loads of glycerin and full body along with stunning notes of wood spice, graphite, blackberry and pepper. Rich, chewy and dense, in a typical bold exuberant Aussie style.

My Review: The fist smell of this wine immediately hits you with a oaky, wood smell. After getting past the woody smell, some of the jammy fruits come through. Taste wise, it was very dry which took away from the wine. The only tastes that I got through were a woody and charcoaly taste.

I did not have this wine with food.
