Wine Critic Review: "Fresh, modern style, with lots of plum pudding, sweet chocolate, mocha, blackberry and boysenberry flavors supported by round, sweet tannins and toast."
My Review: The Faraway Farms Shiraz smelled overwhelmingly oaky which accompanied dark berries, especially blackberry, were present here. The taste consisted of blackberries, and had some heat/spice as an aftertaste. In addition to the heat, I thought there was an emphasis of an oaky aftertaste. Overall, this was a medium bodied wine which has some good qualities to it based on the price.
This wine was not tried with food.
