2014 Jim Barry Shiraz The McRae Wood

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, December 3, 2021 - Eucalyptus, cocoa, coffee, black pepper

Alcohol was a little high on the first night. Paired well with my steak, but probably would have been better with a braised or roasted meat, rather than grilled. Opened up a little more for me on the second night, but I was at my in-laws, so not terribly conducive for making tasting notes.

Probably not a super helpful note. I thought is was an ok bottle, which for the price, isn’t saying much. I’ve enjoyed some pretty darn good Syrah and Shiraz this year and this was probably one of my least favorites. Probably won’t buy another bottle, but not because it wasn’t good, it just wasn’t my favorite.
