California
2008
A dark, rich red with a delightful smell that tickles your nostrils. We couldn't actually find anything online more about this wine or the history behind it. It is a typical shiraz, except, we think, it is much smoother than most.
Colin: It was a nice Shiraz, although I don't think it was one of my favorites, because I feel it could have been a little bolder. But anyone that likes something that is on the mild side would enjoy it. It has a nice warm body, and the finish could have been a little less acidic.
Rating: 7 out of 10 glasses
Rachel: I feel for a Shiraz, this was very smooth and a nice red wine. It is bold in flavors, but great for someone that doesn't like really sour reds. It is on the sweeter side, with a smoother finish so it makes for a rather nice drink. Although, it does have a bit of a powerful aftertaste, the finish lingers - and in this one, the lingering isn't necessarily a good thing (though, I only really mark this down .5 because of that).
Rating: 6.5 out of 10 glasses
Where can I find it?
Whole Foods
Cost: $3.99 (estimated, we drank this while at dinner at Colin's brother's apartment)
