2006 Wolf Blass Yellow Label Shiraz
I've been doing quite a lot of work lately and felt like I needed a night off. So after arriving home late and started eating dinner I decided it needed a wine to go with it. Enter the wolf blass shiraz, I chose this because its a great wine for everyday drinking, well made and modestly priced at about $16 less on special. I've had many other yellow labels before and never been disappointed.
The 2006 vintage is nothing spectacular but still represents great value, it was nice and smooth with good tannins with a dry tobacco and fruit smell. The taste was of pepper and savoury herbs with a touch of red fruit. The flavours were balanced meanind that it doesn't dominate and can be quietly enjoyed. The taste of ripe plums lingers afterwards and draws you in for another mouthfull. It paired very well with our pumpkin cannelloni and would do with most winter dishes provided they're not too fully flavoured themselves.
A good wine to have at home just in case and for warming up with on a cold night like this one.
