Wine Tasting: Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz/ Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Jip Jip Rocks
Variety: Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Padthaway
Country: Australia
Year: 2013
Price: Regular $19 on sale $8.95

Winery Review: This red wine is a well above average effort with lots of flavor as well as Australia's so easily obtainable, lush fruit. The 2013 Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively) exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue along with a layered, peppery, berry fruit-scented nose revealing licorice and meaty notes. From a much lighter vintage, it is a supple, easygoing red to enjoy now and over the next several years.

My Review: Woods like smell on the nose with hints of pepper. Licorice on the palate with some dark berries and maybe event a hint of a nice thick chunky steak. Smooth and delicious.

I did not have this wine with food.
