$13, 4 stars, 89 points, aussie shiraz, Barossa, Barossa Shiraz, shiraz
I have tasted the 2010 Mothers Milk before and really enjoyed it, so much so that I have been on the lookout ever since. Moxie and I were in New Jersey this past weekend and I took the opportunity to visit The Wine Library, a wine store I have shopped from online and have been following for some time. They used to have a great podcast on wine tastings and they started http://cinderellawine.com.
I was super excited to revisit this wine. On the nose- cherry and blackberry with red licorice. On the initial attack there is raspberry coulis and black cherry juice flavors. Really slight tannins open up after a while on the mid palate through to the finish, where I’m getting sour cherry from the acid. Easy to drink and delightful, this wine is not complex but offers a balanced mouthfeel and hides the 14.5% alcohol beautifully. This is an easy wine to quaff but would pair nicely with pizza, grilled lamb chops or a hearty winter stew. 89 points and 4 stars for this $13 effort. Salut…
