Tasting- Concannon Shiraz


Name: Concannon Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region: Central Coast California
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
Shop review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the
palate.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: This wine had a rich red color, as is expected with Shiraz wine.  It had a smell full of spice and twig that filled my entire nose.  The taste had smoky elements, with lamb jerky, and chalky/gritty components.  This wine would probably go well with meat, especially peppered steak.

I did not drink this with food.
