Tasting-Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz


Name: Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region: South Eastern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: No Vintage
Price: $9.95
Shop review: “A relatively light, fresh style of sparkling Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: As the name suggested, this wine was effervescent.  It was not as dark in color as most other red wines I’ve tried.  It had a smell of tomatoes and cream, and reminded me of a vodka pasta sauce.  The taste was not sweet, however not sour. It was a dry wine with noticeable tannins, and coated my mouth as if it were dairy.

I drank this without food.
