Tasting: Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz/ Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz/ Cabernet Sauvignon
Region/Country: Padthaway, Australia
Year: N/A
Price: $19-- Sale $8.95

Winery Review: This red wine is a well above average effort with lots of flavor as well as Australia's so easily obtainable, lush fruit. The 2013 Shiraz/ Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively) exhibits a dark ruby/ purple hue along with a layered, peppery, berry fruit-scented nose revealing licorice and meaty notes. From a much lighter vintage, it is a supple, easygoing red enjoy now and over the next several years. 

My Review: First off I loved the color of this wine, it was a deep deep red with a slight purple mix. I thought this wine had a lot of flavor, and I could taste both fruit and spices. From all the flavors I could taste raspberry the most. I thought this wine was light and could see it being drank with a nice meal during the daytime. I did not have any food with this wine.
