  3/16/2010 - DrinkNectar Does not like this wine: 69 Points

  The Stuff: This wine comes from AU Vineyards in South East Australia. The winery is responsible for AU, Buckley’s Cove, 12 Apostles, Element 79, Fly, and Tambourine labels. This is a 2009 vintage blend of Shiraz and Cabernet. The web site availability shows US distribution is limited to Grocery Outlet stores.
  •The Swirl: Very bright purple (neon), moderately thin with medium translucence.
  •The Sniff: Sugary grape or cherry jolly rancher and sweet candy. Reminded me of those sugar candy you dip the stick into.
  •The Sip: Very thin throughout. The wine is very off-balanced with a sugary sweet front end and then a bitter tart back end.
  •The Score: At $3, I score this wine a 1 (out of 5). This is a not recommended at any price.
