West 'The Ripper' Geographe Shiraz
Geographe, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
Positively delicious 8 year old #westernaustralia #shiraz. Unlike many Oz Shiraz, legitimate varietal aromas of smoked meat, black olive, black/purple fruit, leather. Gratifying acidity on palate balances out rich dark fruit, finishing with coffee notes, a touch of black pepper and fine tannins. Excellent wine.

Interesting story about this wine...grown & crushed in Western Australia, the put into refrigerated trucks and transported 3 days to Hunter Valley for finishing. Not terribly complex but pleasant enough. Houston Costco low cost find.
