Tasting #14 - Lucky Duck Shiraz

Name: Lucky Duck
Variety: Shiraz
Country: Australia 
Year: 2012
Price: $4

Wine Review: The Lucky Duck Shiraz pours a rather dark purple with fairly strong aromas of blackberries and a hint of earth and coffee. You take a sip and get more of that sweet blackberry and some lingering jammy plum, with a decent acidity and a hint of spice in the finish. The tannins are actually fairly moderate which was surprising.

My Review: Medium to dark red in color. I smelled aromas of black cherry and blackberry. The taste is powerful upfront with a blast of dark berries and raspberries. It ended with a dry, modest finish and lingered briefly. 

This wine was tasted with a pizza dinner. While eating the pizza I also drank some of the wine and noticed a big enhancement on the berry flavors.
