Tasting - Yalumba Patchwork Shiraz

Name: Yalumba Patchwork Shiraz
Variety: 100% Shiraz
Region: Barossa
Country: Australia
Year: 2012
Price: $20

Winery Review: This wine opens with lush and juicy dark cherry, licorice spice and wild flower notes that lead into a brambly herbal savour with smoky earth tones. On the palate a satin textured dark mulberry and plum fruit appears with a succulent jazzy acidity lifting the gravelly fruit. A ferrous minerality runs through the palate leaving it savoury and moorish.

My Review:
This was a very well-crafted wine. The aromas were big. There was an earthiness with an herbal quality to it. I also smelled cherries and spice. The taste was just so smooth. I tasted cherries and plum. The finish was long and smooth. I want to have this with a nice, juicy ribeye.
