2003 The Black Chook - Shiraz/Viogner $15.00!!!

[wineseven]

The following are my tasting notes from 10/26/04.
I am only aspiring wine critic/writer, so 'bear' with me.
What a discovery! One must smile drinking this spectacular blend of 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier.
Dark, dark magenta red with saturated purple hue precedes medium to full body of silky smooth texture. Intense, complex, smile provoking powerful, rich and wonderful bouquet of cherry, needle forest soil, sweet wet herbs with hints of apple pie crust is followed by amazingly pure, clean, perfectly balanced, refreshing and never tiring palate. The finish is clean and re inviting.
I’d drink this wine next 3-5 years.
It is imported by Epicurian Wines, Seattle.
