Tasting - Concannon Shiraz



Name:  Concannon Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region:  Central Coast, CA
Country:  USA
Year:  2008
Price: $7.95
Tasting Date and Location: 18 April 2013 at Vintage Cellar

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 was one of the few wines that was strong the nose. Had welcoming berry aromas.  On the palate, it was as full-bodied as advertised and there were hints of black pepper on the finish.  I typically like Shiraz and this one didn’t disappoint.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
