Tasting-Black Opal Shiraz


Name: Black Opal Shiraz
Variety: 100% Shiraz
Region: South Eastern Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95

Winery review: The Black Opal wines are sourced from vineyards found in South Australia along the Limestone Coast, at Langhorne Creek and in the infamous Barossa Valley. Black Opal Shiraz is rich red in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, pepper and spice followed with rich plum flavors round out the palate. Soft tannins give structure to the fruit-driven palate. 

My review: This wine definitely had a spice smell to it. It had a very spicy after taste and a hint of pepper as well. It had a bitter taste to it. This wine was okay and I would try it again. It had more spice to it than I usually drink.

I did not have this wine with any food.
