Tasting - Concannon Shiraz



Name: Concannon Shiraz
Variety: Syrah/Shiraz
Region: 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 wine had a very deep red color. The nose, like the color itself, was dark. The dark taste comes from the smell of cherries and dark chocolate. At one point, I smelled a mixture of liquid tynenol and nyquil. I also got a spicy scent. The taste was strong and dry. I couldn't get the mixture of liquid medicine out of my mind. Luckily the finish was a little softer. 

I did not have it with any food.
