Wine Tasting - Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon



Name:  Jip Jip Rocks

Variety:  Shiraz Cabernet
Region:  Padthaway
Country:  Australia
Year:  2013
Price:  $9
Winery review:  This red wine is a well above average effort with lots of flavor as well as Australia's so easily obtainable, lush fruit. The 2013 Shiraz/ Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively) exhibits a dark ruby/ purple hue along with a layered, peppery, berry fruit-scented nose revealing licorice and meaty notes. From a much lighter vintage, it is a supple, easygoing red enjoy now and over the next several years. 
Additional winemaker notes:  I picked up a white pepper aspect to this wine.  It was very fruity; I got the berry nose.  I did not try this wine with food.
