2008 Concannon Shiraz Tasting

Name: Concannon Shiraz
Varietal: 100% Shiraz/Syrah
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar's 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:
A dark red colored wine with berry and vegetable smells on the nose. The body was filled with dark chocolate and berries throughout and the wine finished smooth. Overall, a good nose, pronounced flavors, well balanced and a semi-dry finish. Would go well with a lighter dish of vegetables, poultry or fish.

Tasted without food.
