Kalleske Moppa Shiraz 2008

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

A dry, still, red wine with 14.5% alcohol tasted on 4th Nov 2009.

Grape: Shiraz

Quality: Very Good

Value: Okay

Cost: Usually between $28.00 - $28.00.

Looks: Dark black red colour, full bodied

Smells: Ripe, plummy, coffee and choc

Feels: Full bodied

Tastes: Kalleske often get the balance on Barossa shiraz so right - their wines don't walk away from being big, round and choc toned, but they have a freshness that balances such ripeness beautifully. Lo and behold, this wine does that balance well. And, it adds a nice little lick of spice and chewy tannin to the mix, with a meaty centre and good dry finish. Class.
