Tasting- Black Chook

Name: Black Chook Shiraz/Viognier
Variety: Red Rhone Blend
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $18.95

Vintage Cellar Review: International Wine Cellar Jul/Aug 2011. "Inky purple. Vibrant, intensely spicy aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, cracked pepper and fresh flowers. Elegant, full-bodied black and blue fruit flavors expand nicely, with refreshing mineral bite adding vibrancy. Very clean, focused Shiraz, with excellent energetic finishing lift and cut."

My Review: This wine had big legs along with the bright purple exterior. Definitely a spicy wine made to pair with red meats. There was an overwhelming and strong scent of cherry to this Shiraz blend.

I did not have this wine with food.
