Garnet hue with purple shadows and aromas of sweet and savory spice, very nice bouquet of subtle grapefruit, ripe sweet cherries, dark berry jam and more tantalizing spice.
Palate--First impression is a fruit bomb with a very minerally foundation, nice texture with loads of more fruit including red grapefruit. Finishes with a lasting fruit burst at the end which lingers.
Another $9 Aussie wine aged 30 days in rum barrels which candidly I don't think does anything for it. I'm not sure 230 days enough time to really accomplish anything. I would guess this may be a blend of Shiraz and/or petite Sirah and perhaps some Cabernet but who knows. (I just looked it up and it is Shiraz, Cabernet and Grenache hence the "cherries" I picked up.)
At $9, it drinks easily and tastes pretty good so raise a glass!
