Review of Morrisons Lamb Shank In Red Wine & Rosemary Sauce

warm rich red velvet christmas feel in tummy

Advantages: warming rich velvety red wine
Disadvantages: none

...Black stump We recently bought some bottles of this through the Times wine club and last night we drank a bottle. I t was a real pleasure. Do sit down while I pour a glass from this dark bottle with gold labelling. Glugg glugg glugg, mmmmmm smells delish take a sip. Ohhhhh this is a smooth velvety wine that slips into my mouth and down my throat the liquid feels thick. The taste is almost blackberry and damson blueberry too, a port flavour rich dark satisfying a little spicy. With an oak flavour. This wine has a lot of flavour. This is a Shiraz wine made from the Durif grape a grape grown in small quantities I love these deep dark fruity wines. I like port and homemade blackberry wine and damson wine this wine is reminiscent of those. This will make a great Christmas wine. 14 percent volume alcohol content...

Review of The Black Stump Durif Shiraz (Red Wine)

Red, red wine...

Advantages: Very good quality
Disadvantages: Price

...If I had to choose between white wine and red I would always go for white, but not always white whine can be chosen. Villa Maria is one of New Zealand's leading wine makers. Recently I've came across its Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon produced of grapes from Hawke's Bay vineyards. Before tasting the wine my expectations were quite? low as good staff can't come from New World. History As you may expect there isn't much history behind the name. No eve a hundred years of tradition and development in wine making. Villa Maria Estate was founded in 1961 by its owner George Fistonich. In just over 40 years has been New Zealand's leading wine award winner. Villa Maria owns vineyards and sources grapes from contract growers from three of New Zealand's leading grape growing regions: Marlborough, Hawke's Bay (this is my tasting bottle comes from...

Australian Red Wine (Tesco's)

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Not really what you would serve to impress at a posh dinner party

...I never used to be a red wine drinker, I would have said in the past if someone had offered me a glass "no thanks". But within the past few years I have changed my mind a lot and now do enjoy red wine. THE PRODUCT: Australian Red Wine (south eastern Australia) Selected by Tesco 75 cl 13.0% vol medium and fruity cost: £2.08 Allergy advice: Contains Sulphites Availability: every Tesco supermarket I have been in MY EXPERIENCE: I first bought a bottle of this wine when we were having a barbeque in the summer, I wasn't sure what it was or what it would be like as with most people when buying for a party you tend to just buy a few bottles of a lot of things. I decided however after a few strange glances from my partner that maybe I should try this wine before forcing it on our guests. The first thing I notice was it didn...

Review of Tesco Australian Red Wine (South Eastern Australia)

I wouldn't Bin this Shiraz

Advantages: Inexpensive but a decent wine
Disadvantages: None

...achieve a consistently good yield of wine. The wines are blended to be drinkable upon release rather than to benefit from further aging. This doesn't sound like the type of methodology that is very promising to make a quality bottle of wine, but year in and year out I end up being impressed by Lindemans wines. Maybe not blown away, but I am consistently satisfied with their products and find them more than adequate as an everyday tipple. Shiraz is full bodied red varietal that is grows well in Australia, and of which the 2007 Bin 50 from Lindemans is perfectly nice example. THE GRAPE This grape is known as Syrah in France and Shiraz in Australia. The grape is thought to be named for a city in Persia (Shiraz) where it probably originated. It produces full rich wines of intense colour and flavour. The grape was introduced...

Review of Lindemans Shiraz

Austrailian Red wine selected by Tesco worth a try

Advantages: Smooth
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

...Austrailian Red Wine, South Eastern Austrailia selected by Tesco. I am no connoisseur at describing wine, but I could recommend this one. My wife does not even like red wine, but even she found this one pleasant. It is as it says on the bottle "A SMOOTH, MEDIUM-BODIED RED WITH BERRY FRUIT FLAVOURS". Though perhaps being pregnant made my wife normally a non red drinker tollerate this bottle and enjoy it to some extent, and I found it nice enough to ask her to buy it again from Tesco again and I enjoyed it the second time just as much as I did the first time. Describing any kind of flavour is a difficult task for me, but with some kind of wines especially red it is easier to describe what you don't like about them, rather than what you do. The main two failings I find with quite a few red wines is some you could describe as being...

Review of Tesco Australian Red Wine (South Eastern Australia)

A Good Aussie Red Wine

Advantages: Moderate Price. Pleasant
Disadvantages: Not the most exciting red wine

...Australia undeniably has a growing reputation for the quality of its red wines.In particular, the area in South Australia known as the Barossa Valley,produces some fine red wines. Hardys Stamp of Australia Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon,South Eastern Australia is a good example of the genre. It is a very consistent wine and especially gret value for money. You will probably be able to get a bottle for around 5 pounds at the likes of Sainsbury's,Waitrose and Safeway,and look out for special offers,when you might only have to pay around four pounds per bottle. Originally,it seems the rather beefy,bramble-scented shiraz grape was utilised to fill out the thin and somehat weedy cabernet grape in Aussie. However,the blend soon captured the interest of wine lovers and nowadays the two grapes combined at the price level you will find in...

Review of Hardy's Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon

The Black Pig - Pigassu French table red wine

Advantages: Great with very many meals especially red meats
Disadvantages: Non

...UPDATED FURTHER!!!!!! I buy a lot of my wines direct from Laithwaites wine company based at New Aquitaine House, Exeter Way, Reading and they are great. There is one wine in particular as I am a red wine lover caught my eye on the laithwaites website that is only available from mid June to mid July each year called Pigassu nicknamed the black pig and comes from France. I have found it great with very many meals. It is very full bodied and has a very smooth sweet taste on the palette and the nicest of very many other french red table wines I have tried over the years. As far as comparisons against other French red table wines that I have tried over the years is it's unique quality. It is totally naturally produced from the best red french grapes, well matured 2002 vintage or whichever year you buy it after, like next years...

Review of Pigassu (Red wine)

A red wine with a nice bit of white

Advantages: Value, exotic perfume, lively
Disadvantages: 14.5% alc !

...Loads of us Brits love Australian wine for the loveable, forward, brash fruit nature it has brought to our national palate. Combined with easy to understand, clear labelling then it is no wonder that Aussie wine has claimed a large proportion of market share in the UK. However there are times when the Old World can teach its more modern and forward-looking New World cousins a thing or two. A wine I picked up in Tesco recently really helps to illustrate this point. Berton Vineyards Penny Farthing Old Vines Shiraz/Viognier is actually made from a combination of a red wine (Shiraz) with a white wine (Viognier) ! This may sound bizarre but French winemakers in the Cote Rotie (literally ?Roasted Slope?) area of the Northern Rhone Valley sometimes add a little Viognier (usually around 5% or so) to their Syrah A.K.A Shiraz, to soften...

Review of Penny Farthing Old Vine Shiraz Viognier

Tesco Australian Red Wine

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Not something to serve at a party until everyone's drunk!

...Let's face it, you're buying this for £3.00 a bottle. However, MUCH better than some of the chemical crap (e.g. Cape Crossing Cabernet Sauvignon - chemical crap) that some producers pass off as wine in the same price band. It's somewhat acidic with very little body - but who cares at this price? It DOESN'T taste of chemicals and plastic. Better than most cheap table wines, can't go wrong with this - but make sure your guests have had a bit of the good stuff and are a bit pissed before you get the cheap one out. If you want better for your buck do a wine run to France and buy there - but not cheap French wine, it sucks (and they only sell it to stupid Brits like us!)....
