Tasting - Black Opal Shiraz


Name: Black Opal Shiraz
Variety: 100% Shiraz
Region: Barossa Valley
Country: Australia
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: The black Opal wines are sourced from vineyards found in South Australia along the Limestone Coast, at Langhorne Creek and in the infamous Barossa Valley. Black Opal Shiraz is rich red in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, pepper and spice followed with rich plum flavors round out the palate. Soft tannins give structure to the fruit-driven palate.

My Review: This dark red had a hint of berry smell that really came alive on the tongue. There was a slight tang in the back of my jaw.

I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
