Wine for Today :: 2003 Shotfire Ridge Barossa Cuvee

MM-mmmm, Good!

This Barossa Valley blend of 60% Shiraz, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Mourvedre, is superb. Especially when you consider the price of the wine. I recently got a case for about $12/bottle.

Now... I will admit that my palate is not sufficiently refined to be able to tell you that it has hints of cherry and blackberry, with good structure and firm tannins. In fact, I don't like cherries, so I don't know what they'd taste like anyways. :)

But, I do like good wine, and even though I'm Palately Challenged™, I most definitely can tell the difference between wines I like, and wines I don't like. And this is one of the wines that I do like!

Enjoy.
