Tasting: Jacob's Creek Shiraz

Name: Jacob's Creek Classic Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz

Region: Barossa Valley
Country: Australia
Year: 2010
Price: $8.99 

Winery review: 
Medium depth with crimson-purple hues. Displaying aromas of ripe, spicy black fruits, with hints of chocolate and well-handled cedary oak. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, vibrant fruit flavours. It has an attractive sweet mid-palate, and soft, silky Shiraz tannins through to a 
long, satisfying finish

My review: I thought that the Jacob's Creek Shiraz was very tannic but ended with a light, easy finish. The flavors that stuck out to me were berry and maple.

Food:  A variety of cheeses
