Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier Shiraz-Viognier 2005 Wine Review (NW)

Tasting notes:

Nose of crushed red berries, pomegranate, pepper, and sage

Jammy texture

Long finish of cranberry, plum, spice, and chocolate

Grab that whether you see it! At $20 or so, it’s a tasty wine and not your ordinary Australian Shiraz. The crushed red berry aromas are mouth-watering and the finish is exotic. The small percentage of Viognier

is blended in with great care, adding to the perfumed nose.

This reminds me of a Rhone-style Syrah, but with an additional concentration of crushed red berries that adds additional perfume without making the wine heavy or by ripe. Raise a glass!
