Tasting - Steeple Jack 2013 Shiraz

Name: Steeple Jack 2013 Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region: Southern
Country: Australia
Year: 2013
Price: $8

Winery Review: In true Steeple Jack tradition, this shiraz is full of character.  Blackberries, stewed fruits, hints of mocha and lifted vanilla on the nose, a full soft fruit driven palate followed by a touch of spice and white pepper with a lingering smooth finish.

My Review: I wanted to try a shiraz as it has been a variety I have tasted very few times. I was able to appreciate the blackberries flavors of this wine however the darker fruits mixed with a bit of coffee and spices made it less enjoyable. The aftertastes of pepper were very present with this wine. I drank this alone, without food.
