Metala Shiraz Cabernet 2002

Made by Saltram Wine Estate in Australia (region: Langhorne Creek) .

A dry, still, red wine with 13.5% alcohol tasted on 31st Dec 2004.

Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz

Quality: Okay

Value: Above Average

Cost: Usually between $12.99 - $14.99.

Looks: Deep red burgundy - a real "reddish" coloured wine!

Smells: Medium in intensity, with cherry and cinnamon, as well as a little pepper.

Feels: Quite full in body.

Tastes: Dry cherry, pepper and spice. Good length, where the pepper dominates. A good buy, and a good, reliable standard bearer every vintage. I feel a bit harsh giving it only OK in Quality...
