Winery Review: This Shiraz is full-bodied, well-defined and juicy-sweet with blackberry, plum and cherry flavours complemented by the subtle richness of oak.
The 2013 Diamond Label Shiraz was recently awarded Double Gold at the 2014 San Francisco International Wine Show and the Gold Medal at the 2014 Royal Queensland Wine Show.
Wine Folly: I can find information about Shiraz on page 172 of Wine Folly. Shiraz is an alternative name to Syrah. Syrah is a "rich, powerful, and sometimes meaty red wine that originated in the Rhone valley of France. It's the most planted grape of Australia, where it's called Shiraz." Just like what Wine Folly said, this wine is from Australia and called Shiraz. It is big bodied, very dry, decent tannins, acidity, and alcohol.
My Review: It's a quite cheap wine, so I thought I would pick it up. As soon as I smelled it, it had a strong jam scent. Tasted of dark berries, and stays in the mouth for a while. It's on the dry side, but I've tasted drier wines. Very bold and big bodied, with medium tannins and acids.
