Comment on: Foleys Corner Reserve Shiraz 2008

This is what I define as a 'Party wine'. Very fruity, uncomplicated and clean with virtually no tannins. No breathing needed. Crack the top and away you go.

Typical Aussie jammy smell and a cherry red colour.

Sweet jammy summer fruits in the mouth with a tickle of white pepper on the relatively short finish. Therefore you take another sip fairly quickly...and then open another bottle and before you know it....Party Time!!

A simply brilliant medium bodied wine that I would mistake for a really good Pinot Noir.

A subtle summer fruit, minerally nose that practically dares you to take a sip.

It tastes fresh, clean and uncomplicated. Think crushed strawberries filtered in a rocky mountain stream.

And a looooong dry finish. I was lying in bed an hour later and could still detect the minerals.

I love a fruity wine but sometimes you want a drier more savoury wine especially with a tomato based meal and this hits the spot. Excellent.

Nose something of a disappointment. Leather soaked in alcohol.

The taste however is a deep concentrate of chocolate and cherry.

Nice long, tannic finish which lends this wine to go well with food.

We had this with a rustic French chicken dish and the wine was definitely too big for it. Really needs a hearty beef stew on a cold winters night.
