Shiraz

[Innkeeper]

Grenache is frequently used to soften other grapes in wine such as shiraz. When the name comes first as in this case, the grenache is primary. Unless they come from special grapes in a special place, which the Jacob's Creek does not, the wine will be quite soft. The fizz could come from secondary fermatation due to sloppy winemaking.

Burgundy is made from pinot noir. Though it can be a huge wine, everyday pinot is much softer than cabernet. Although there are exceptions everywhere I would line them up this way: Cabernet, shiraz/syrah, merlot, pinot noir.
