Tasting-"Yellowtail Shiraz Grenache 2015 1.5 Liter Magnum Frontline"

Name: Yellowtail Shiraz Grenache 2015 1.5 Liter Magnum Frontline
Variety: Grenache and Shiraz blend
Region: Casella
Country: Australia
Year: 2015
Price: Regular $14, Sale $5.95

Winery Review: A classic blend of Shiraz and Grenache, with the raspberries, blackcurrant, lliquorice and spice characteristics of the Shiraz complementing the upfront cherry and cola flavors of the Grenache. The balanced wine offers earthy tones, strawberry aromas and vibrant acidity.


My Review: This wine had an aroma like candied cherries and roses, very floral.  The wine was very dry and soft, with heavy tannins and a smooth finish.  The wine had characteristics of raspberries, cherries, black pepper and earth.  I enjoyed this wine but if I had it in the future I  would pair it with some cheese to soften the tannic components.
