Vintage Cellar Tastings: Fox Creek Shiraz




















Name: Fox Creek Shiraz

Category: Shiraz

Region: McLaren Vale, Australia

Year: 2012

Price: $23

Winery Review:  Bright purple. Exotic, expansive aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, vanilla and cola, along with a peppery overtone and a hint of violet pastille. Broad, fleshy, appealingly sweet boysenberry and cherry liqueur flavors show excellent depth and a seamless texture. Finishes juicy and long, with building spiciness, an echo of blue fruit and round tannins.    
 


 
My Review:  This was one of the best wines that I have tasted in all of the wine tastings that I have done. It was tannic and rich in flavor. The savory taste of this wine was given by the dark berry flavors like plum and black berry. It had a strong vanilla custard like flavor which added to its dark fruity taste. I would love to pair this wine with steak or flavorful red meat.
