Earthworks Barossa Shiraz 2011

I just wanted a nice glass of red wine. Is it that hard? I don't know, but my, the tannins on this were tough.

Earthworks Barossa Shiraz 2011, 13.5%

Garnet in colour

Chocolatey/oak, plums and prunes on the nose.

Medium body
Savoury high tannin
Medium/high acid
Slight Plum
Cassis? Can you have cassis in a shiraz? Is that just a cab sauv thing? hmmmmm.

Boooring. For a vegetarian.

Recommended for big beefy types who enjoy black charred steak and need something tough to wash it down with before going clubbing and starting fights with weaker lentil-eating-constitution types. And then eating more steak for breakfast before a protein shake of raw eggs and the gym.

And not sleeping cos they're MACHINES and they never stop til Skynet takes over the world!!!
