Tasting - James Goddard Shiraz

Name:  James Goddard Shiraz
Variety:  Shiraz
Region:  Barossa Valley
Country:  Australia
Year:  2011
Price:  $18

Winery Review:  Ripe and rich, this is dense with flavor but transparent in texture. A Shiraz of power and elegance as it plays out its cherry, black tea and spice flavors. Approachable now, but this has miles to go as it develops. Drink now through 2020.

My Review:  In the wine glass, this wine is a deep violet with a brown tint.  On the nose it smells of wood and plums.  This is a drier wine but it isn't too dry and it has a medium mouth-feel.  This Shiraz tastes of chocolate and plums. This was a good Shiraz.

I did not drink this wine with food.
