Emeri de Bortoli Sparkling Shiraz

Emeri de Bortoli
Sparkling Shiraz
$9.95
Non-vintage
Southeastern Australia

Winery Review:  A relatively light, fresh style of sparkling Shiraz, with berries and hints of chocolate picking up just a touch of sweet vanilla on the finish.

Personal Review:  Blackberries overwhelm the aroma, with cherries being apparent as well. Chocolate can also be detected in the nose, but only faintly. The carbonation is good and refreshing, but contrasts with the smokey flavors. Overall a good sparkling wine, but tastes as if it would be better just as a sweet red without the carbonation.
