Wolf Blass Presidents Selection Shiraz 2006I’m normally pretty wary when it comes to wine from big name labels and tend to avoid them, instead preferring to spend my money on wines from smaller vineyards where there is true passion for the craft rather than the corporate profit driven mentality.

I was however talked into trying a bottle of the Wolf Blass Presidents Selection 2006 Shiraz ($16) after they had it open for tasting at my local this weekend.

Shiraz grapes are sourced from all over South Australia. I’m pretty sure this bottle was made for the export market but is probably being sold locally due to the current state of the economy in the US and UK.

I let it sit in the decanter for about 20 minutes before taking my first sip and ... a little disappointed. Very flat taste, quite non descript really and very thin on the tongue.

Won’t be going back for more.

 
In Summary ...
Vintage: 2006
Variety:
Region: South Australia (SA)
Rating:
Verdict: Won''t be going back for more.
