This blog is only updated during the Summer when I prefer to drink wine and discover new Vinters, Varietals, and Vineyards. However, from time to time throughout the year you may find a rouge post here and there. Please remember, that I am an amateur wine drinker, so my notes and observations on the blog are my own personal inexperienced notes. As I grow and develop my pallet, I hope that my notes and annotations will develop and refine as well. Until then, enjoy my blog and my adventures.

Uncorking Oak Leaf Shiraz

 This weeks wine is a Shiraz by Oak Leaf Vineyards.

Winemakers Notes: "This full-bodied, smooth Sairaz has ripe blackberry aromas, black pepper notes and a bold, long finish"

My Notes: "wet socks, musty, bitter sweet, sour, heavy full body, prickly, tart, earthy, wet asphalt, strong perfumed front, acidity finish.


















This wine to me was very tart and bitter. It puckered my mouth and was full bodied and almost heavy. Not to horrible for a $3.98 wine. But was good with my lagusana. 


~Cheers

    Lagusana is a tough food to match with a wine. I think you should give it a chance with something else.
