Winery Review: “Another
winner and sensational, the 2010 Shotfire Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz is a blend
of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Shiraz. 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 typically bold, exuberant Aussie style, this is a wine to drink over the
next 6-10 years.”
Personal Review:
This wine did have a very rich, pretty ruby/purple color, like the winery
describes. It had a black pepper smell to it. It tasted spicy and peppery, and
dried out the sides of my mouth. This wine had a very full, thick body. This
was probably my second favorite wine of the day. I did not have it with food, but
I think it would pair very well with steak.
