Dona Sol Shiraz, Petite Syrah & Symphony

Name: Dona Sol Shiraz, Petite Syrah & Symphony

Variety: Blend: Shiraz, Petite Syrah & Symphony
Year: Non-Vintage
Country: USA
Region: California
Price: $6.95
Wine Critic Review: "Shiraz has a unique jammy fruit character that is well represented in the Sweet Red. Both on the nose and on the palate, jammy fruit, like strawberries, cherry pie and red licorice, entices the senses and pair well with cheeses and desserts." -The Vintage Cellar
My review: As the above review mentions, there was a strong strawberry jam smell to this blended red.  I also detected a hint of smokiness.  The taste was more mild fruit flavors and I noticed a flavor of raisins in the aftertaste.  This was my favorite wine for this week's tastings at the Vintage Cellar.

This wine was not consumed with food.
