When I arrived home from my Sonoma/Napa, wine tasting tours, I promised myself to NEVER again say what "I LIKE," again. For years I put myself in a wine "pigeon hole." And as a native New Yorker, pigeons are not something I want to be in the same hole with. But all too often, we stymie our palettes with the following adages: "I only like reds." Or, "Whites are my only choice."DON'T DO IT!!!
Pre-Napa, I did the same thing, and post Napa - like Patti LaBelle - "I got a new attitude!"
That said, let me point your attentions to 2005 Black Ridge Vineyards CA Shiraz. I hunted the internet for ANYTHING about this wine, to no avail. It's a blend of an oaky, bold, with a hint of fruit and rust. It's also quite subtle, with an after taste of dry flavors. And if you tend to lean towards dry wines, this is well within anyone's budget - I'll speak for myself, valued @$8.99.
