What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Winemakers Notes

Shiraz wines are one of Australia's most famous wine exports. They are rich, vibrant and bursting with fresh fruit flavor.

Had this at a churrascaria restaurant where I once again had the unpleasant experience of paying $10/glass for a $10 bottle of vino. Although I enjoyed this with my dinner, it did not make a unique impression on me. For me, it was the run of the mill fruit-forward Aussie shiraz, which I love anyway. A little pepper and slight vanilla, astringent at the end. For the price, I really don't mind it, but not excited about it either.
