Tasting - Concannon Shiraz

Name: Concannon Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: USA
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.

My Review: I thought this wine had a very dark fruit smell at first, but that quickly gave away to a vegetal or almost dirt-like component to the aroma. I thought it was spicy on the first taste but it didn't have a whole lot of power to finish out the rest of the palate.

Food? I did not have this wine with food.
