Name: Concannon Shiraz 2008
Varietal: Syrah
Region: Central Coast California
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar 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: I don't know why, but everytime I pick up a different shiraz, I get nervous because I don't know what its gonna be like. Even if it is labeled syrah, I will be fine, but the name Shiraz just makes me hesitant. This one smelled like intense cranberry flavors, but had a back smell of some type of cream element like butter. The taste though was extremely interesting and good. The main component was slightly sour blackberries with some citrus and a just a hint of pepper too. Other people got more pepper, but I wasn't too overwhelmed by it. All in all it was great and definitely something you should try once.
