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.
