Variety: Shiraz
Region: Barossa
Country: Australia
Year: 2012
Price: $20

Wine Spectator Review: Polished, supple and juicy, with red berry, black cherry, licorice and white pepper flavors, persisting nicely on the refined finish. Drink now through 2017.

My Review: The nose of the wine was fruity and alcoholic. This wine had a bit of a kick upon first tasting and was definitely a bit spicier than I expected. It is a very bold robust wine. Between sips, I had a bite of Gouda cheese which seemed to bring out a sausage flavor when tasting the wine afterwards.
