Tasting - "Concannon Shiraz"

Name: Concannon Shiraz

Variety: Shiraz

Region: California

Country: United States

Year: 2008

Price: $7.95

Critic Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.

My Review: On the nose, I got a lot of plum smell, also some blackberries. The palate was also identified by dark berries, but near the finish I got a slight sense of chocolate and spice. I don't think I will be buying this style of wine anytime soon, I think I've had better Shiraz from Australia.
