Winery Review: “This
richly concentrated Barossa Shiraz is indicative of the style for which
Australia's top production region is famous. The wine is dark in color, rich
and dense. There are ample tannins balanced by the powerful fruit. You will
note the hints of blackberries, mint, and eucalyptus flavors upfront and in the
finish. Try Rubus Barossa Shiraz with rich dishes like lamb shank, Osso bucco,
beef steak or roast duck.”
Personal Review:
The very first thing I noticed about this wine after it was poured was how
pretty its color was! It had a rich, deep burgundy, purple, maroon color! It
tasted very dry and acidic, instantly drying out my tongue. It had a 14.9%
alcohol content, which I attributed to its very thick consistency. It had a
peculiar “jammy” taste, reminding me of black raspberry jam! It was very good and
I would like to try this wine again with the recommended dishes the winery
suggests!
