The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blueberry, blackberry, mushroom, forest floor, smokey bacon, cedar and black pepper.
Very pronounced tannins.

Dry sparkling Shiraz from an Australian winemaker transplanted to California. Drier but also somewhat more fruit-forward than Chook. Accompanied New Year's Day Black Eyed Peas and Kale, cornbread.
