Tasting - Concannon Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: US
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
Winery 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: This Shiraz was pretty cool. The nose had some enticing spice with some of what I could only determine to be blueberry mixed in. It tasted peppery with all sorts of really dark fruit flavors. I could taste the blackberry along with a strong influence of what I believe was black currant. The finish was very smooth, which I thought was surprising for such a full-bodied wine. I will most likely buy a bottle of this stuff then next time I'm hanging around the Vintage Cellar trying to replenish the supplies in my wine cellar, (which is really more of a broom closet where I keep my wine.)
I did not try this with food.
