19 Crimes Shiraz Durif 2014
Victoria, AustraliaThis ripe, full and fleshy Victoria red is a spicy blend of shiraz and durif (petite sirah), full of mulled berries, spices, raspberry and blueberry jam. Happily riding the wave of sunbaked sugars, with ripe thick tannins, bittersweet cocoa and nutmeg spicing. A brisk bitter espresso note cuts off the finish short and amplifies the heat; best mitigated with saucy braised beef ribs.Tasted: 24 June 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $18.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
