I've had a few other wines in the intervening days but I'm trying this one right now, so it gets reviewed.
The aroma / nose of the wine is very strong- most shiraz wines are- but this was pleasant.
The taste caught me by surprise- fairly sweet, for a red- a well balanced sweetness with a bit of black currant, blackberry- excellent mouth feel. Now, personally I am against licorice - and this wine has none, so it's even better in that regard.
The finish of the wine is very nice- lingers on the tongue and back of the throat. The aromas from the sip also are still, well, aromatic, with a final taste of dryness.
Aroma: 2
Taste: 7
Finish: 6/7
At a price of $7.99 from West Ridge Liquor this is a good choice.
:edit: The next day I opened the little less than 3/4 of a bottle to have with a steak. The wine had definitely picked up an acetic acid taste to it over night from the extra air. While no wine should be judged harshly for left unfinished, this one was a little rapid on that- I had used one of the vacuum pumps to seal it, as I do with all wines. Something to be aware of.
