Wine Tasting- Alice White Shiraz
Name: Alice White Shiraz
Varietals: 100% Shiraz
Region: South Eastern Australia (again, all I got)
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $5.99
Wine Maker Review: "Our 2009 Alice White Shiraz invigorates the senses with blackcurrant fruit, ripe plum, spicy vanilla, and licorice aromas and flavors. Soft and round, this wine is well structured with supple tannins and subtle hints of chocolate, caramel, and warm toasty oak. The result is a long, savory finish that will leave you wanting more."
My Review: This was the fruit bomb I was looking for! This wine was balls cheap and actually pretty delicious! There was a huge plumby flavor that finished with an intense wash of peppery spice. Lots and lots of spice but in a good way. There was no cheap wine alcoholy taste which was very pleasing because you tend to get that with the cheaper wines. I will definitely buy this one again, especially with such a nice price. After reading the review I definitely understand the caramel tones, which were quite nice. Guess I never really thought of getting caramel out of a wine so I attributed that sweetness to the fruit. Whatever it was good.
