Pirathon Shiraz

Pirathon Shiraz 2008

Made by Kalleske in Australia (region: Barossa Valley) .

A dry, still, red wine with 15% alcohol tasted on 9th Sep 2009.

Grape: Shiraz

Quality: Very Good

Value: Above Average

Cost: Usually between $23.00 - $23.00.

Looks: Very full looking, blood red colour very deep

Smells: Ripe and full of cedar and coffee

Feels: Full bodied

Tastes: This is a big wine, no lie! But, the alcohol is kept very well in check by the flavours. Very big ripe fruit tones, good dollop of coffee and chocolate oak, good velvety tannins and nice warm finish. Perhaps difficult to match with food, however drink it by itself and it will be an enjoyable little number on a cool evening. (what? 30 degrees + on the weekend? Ah, who cares, drink this anyway!)

Possible retailers: Cellar Door / Web Site.
