2017 d'Arenberg Shiraz The Dead Arm

Saturday, August 19, 2023 - I paired this, and 2 other Spanish wines, for my regular Trash Movie Night. The challenge is pairing pair with Taco Bell. This wine sung. Mexican pizza? Check. Nachos Bell Grande? Check. Chalupa? Check. The real winner? The Double Beef Volcano Burrito.

The sweet notes hone in on the sugar in the sauces, with the slight pepper notes enhancing the beef seasoning. This was the third wine in the series, and the deeper fruit notes sung compared to the others.
