Tudor Creek Shiraz 2006

The name of this wine makes it sound old. We picked it up partly because you can get great values on wines that are being discounted because of their age. Unfortunately this 2006 has probably seen better days.

The bottle says it is from North Coast California in Suisun City, 13.8% alcohol, and it contains sulfites (boy does it.)

This bottle had a natural cork which seemed in good shape. We found this wine to have not much nose. The taste was mostly tannin, so if that's what you are after... The sulfide detector (my wife's allergy) pegged at the top end. We used the rest as cooking wine in marinara sauce.

At $3.99, this was still not a good deal as we really can't say it added too much to cooking either. This was NOT a winning lottery ticket.
