Cool Woods Shiraz 2010
South Australia
Regular Price: $25.99
Sale Price: $6.99
Tasting Notes: "The colour is a deep inky purple. The nose is lifted berry fruits, with hints of dark chocolate and spice. The palate is medium bodied with intense plummy fruit. This
plummy fruit fills the whole palate and combined with the soft and approachable tannins creates a very mouth filling wine. The length of flavour is long with plum and
liquorice fruit and spicy oak."
Extremely acidic on the nose, I was afraid this wine would be a no-go for me. As my first Shiraz, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, it turned out to be quite pleasant. Dry and tart with a beautiful velvety feel in the mouth, this wine was complex and delicious with a lingering finish. Spicy plum flavors and creamy oak balanced out well within this Shiraz. This is definitely a wine to keep in mind for the future! I also had the chance to try it the next day, and I found it to be even more delicious then. Less pungent and spicy than when first opened, this Shiraz was a great first one for me to experience!
