The Grinder Blue Moose Cabernet Sauvignon I Shiraz 2016
Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaFrom The Grinder, The Blue Moose is a very ripe, sweeter Swartland blend of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz. Some jammy fruit on the palate is propped with tobacco and roasted meats before the hot, short, pasty bitter finish. Tannins are soft and easy. A commercial wine that does little to share or better South African reds.Tasted: 17 July 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $13.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
