Tasting - Fox Creek Shiraz

Name: Fox Creek Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region, Country: McLaren Vale, Australia
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95

Steven Tanzer 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: Woodsy and dark fruit aroma. Smokey and plum flavors with hints of plum and blackberry with a more tannic and slightly spicy finish. I did not try this wine with food.
