Name: Jacob's Creek Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz

Country: Australia
ABV: 13.2%

Vintage: 2011
Winemaker's Notes: Displaying aromas of spicy red and black fruits, with hints of chocolate and well-handled cedary oak.
The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant fruit flavors and a spicy, liquorice-like
edge, reflecting the cooler 2011 vintage. It has an attractive sweet mid-palate
and soft, silky Shiraz tannins through to a long, satisfying finish.
My Notes: The nose was semi-sweet with a toasted oak and berry-fruit components coming through. The taste was primarly black cherry. Full bodied, the wine was smooth with a buttery finish. I give it a 3/5.
