This wine is a much like the Cab of the same year. Again, it is a cheaper made bottle and has the low three buck price point at Gross Out. The bottle says that it has a bold introduction and finishes with finesse. "Aromas of dark berry and licorice fill the palate ahead of fine oak tannins." Well, maybe...The color in the glass was a lighter purple. The nose had noticeable fruit with a little vinegar. We found the initial palate to be light berry with stronger tannins in the finish. A bit of the spice you expect in Shiraz, but not distinct pepper.
At $2.99, it almost has to be fairly priced if you can drink it. We certainly place it above the common Yellow Tail, but not close to the Rosemount standard. We will not buy this again.
