Tasting - Concannon Shiraz

Name: Concannon Shiraz
Varietal: Shiraz
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar 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."

My Review: The dark fruit nose on this was very interesting. It was incredible how well I could smell the dark fruits individually the more I swirled and sniffed. The mocha was a beautiful companion for all of the dark fruits and obviously the chocolate went hand-in-hand perfectly as well. I would definitely purchase this wine in the future.

This wine was not paired with food.
