Winery Review: Ripe cherries and strawberries, spice, vanilla aromas. This bold Shiraz wine is well balanced with earthy tones and lingering fruit on the tongue.

My Review: This Shiraz packed a punch, and we started our wine night by breaking this open and immediately drinking some. The nose carried a dark, pomegranate smell, and the first sip tasted sharp like cranberries. The midpalate felt dry, and the aftertaste was oak-y with hints of vanilla. This wine tasted great with the pepperoni.
For part two, we brought out the exact same bottle, but it had been opened and poured into a bowl two hours earlier. Comparing its taste to the first bottle, the results were as expected, but way more pronounced that I'd predicted: the "aged" wine was MUCH more refreshing, fruity, and sweeter. The tannic bite was more faint, and the overall product was tastier in my opinion.
