Shiraz can be a bit much, especially for a new wine drinker. Memsie mellows out those big Shiraz flavors with a splash of Cab and a drop of Malbec.
This was an impulse purchase based on price when I was out shopping for a Shiraz to bring to a Shiraz tasting party. It came home with me, and I liked it better than any of the Shiraz's I tried at the party.
It's big and fruity and one heck of a mouth full. None of those light fruits you'll find in Pinot, this is big stuff with just a hint of spice.
