WTN: Man Vintners Shiraz 2006

by Bruce Hayes » Sat Aug 02, 2008 6:59 pm

Coastal Region

Dark purple in the glass.

Notthing much happening on the nose.

Spicy, very smoky, juicy raspberry and blackberry fruit, light to moderate weight, rich flavours, very tangy.

With time, the tartness increased and the wine lost some of its earlier richness.

Definitely a lighter style of Shiraz and a little too tart for my taste.

Screwcap closure.

Purchased at $12.95 (Canadian).

Between this and the chard you're having a tough weekend. I wish you better luck next week.

I don't know anything about the Shiraz, but I can tell you that the MAN Vintners Chenin is fantastic at the price. It's a QPR home run!
