Wattle Creek 2009 Shiraz (Alexander Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Shiraz California
Winery: Wattle Creek / Alexander Valley

Interesting that they call it Shiraz instead of Syrah. Either way, it’s a very dry, tannic and fairly complex wine, rich in blackberry, currant, tobacco and pepper flavors. Drink this robust, astringent young wine now with roasted meats and stews.
