Shoofly Shiraz
We tasted the 2010 Shoofly Shiraz. Typical of Shiraz (in our opinion) it has a rich coffee and earthy smell. The taste is rich dark fruit flavour, a hint of spice and although brewed in both American and French oak barrels did not give off much of an oak flavour. All of the flavours linger allowing you to enjoy them for a little bit longer. We really enjoyed this Shiraz and recommend you try it with some red meat.
