The Lucky Country Shiraz 2011 (about $14)






About the Wine:  This inexpensive Shiraz started as a side project from the same wine maker that brought us Two Hands, a Shiraz best defined by I have no idea what because it's way out of my price range.  This is either going to be a great bargain or something that wine maker crapped out over a weekend.

About THIS Wine:  It is dark red in the glass with a violet rim.  The nose is very jammy with a lot of dark fruit and some forest floor notes.  The fruit delivers on the palate with just a hint of black licorice.  The finish is smooth and does not linger.

Drinking This Wine:  This is fine for a sipping wine or something to go with a hamburger.

Overall Impression:  This is a decent Tuesday night wine and it is priced as such.  It is fair for the price.
