2006 Ravenswood Vinters Blend Shiraz, California $10
It is rare to find an exceptional California Shiraz for under $10 these days, especially from such a classy winery. Aromas of smoky bacon and blackberries fill the glass, and lead into a big bold wine. Flavors of black fruit and mint are balanced with subtle layers of cocoa powder and oak. The finish is soft and delivers whispers of spice and dried fruit. All of the flavors pull together perfectly into a well made Shiraz that is affordable for any occasion. This wine would work well with pasta and meat sauce or even a bacon cheese burger, jazz up the meal or dress it down, this wine will make it feel allot richer.
