Vintage Cellar Critique: "Another winner and sensational, the 2010 Shotfire Cabernet-Shiraz is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Shiraz. A whopper of a wine, it is deep ruby/purple and possesses loads of glycerin and full body along with stunning notes of wood spice, graphite, blackberry and pepper. Rich, chewy, and dense, in typically bold, exuberant Aussie style, this is a wine to drink over the next 6-10 years."
My Critique: Courtney, the wine specialist at the Vintage Cellar referred to this wine as a "Big Red" and boy was she ever right! This is the most powerfula nd pungent wine I have ever tasted. This blend really amplifies the Cabernet and Shiraz; it "Destroys the palate" with its powerful and pungent taste. You can really smell the blackberry and taste the bitterness it gives it. This wine was powerful and truly a unique experience.
