Tasting- Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Jip Jip Rocks
Variety: Shiraz/ Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Padthaway
Country: Australia 
Year: 2014
Price: $5.95

Winery Review:  87 – Robert Parker
This red wine is a well above average effort with lots of flavor as well as Australia's so easily obtainable, lush fruit. The 2013 Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon (55% and 45% respectively) exhibits a dark ruby/purple hue along with a layered, peppery, berry fruit-scented nose revealing licorice and meaty notes. From a much lighter vintage, it is a supple, easygoing red to enjoy now and over the next several years.    

My Review: This wine had a spicy smell. Also kind of smelled like petrol. This wine had an extremely strong scent. It had a very deep red wine color and was very thick. I thought the taste was like garbage, dry, leathery, dirty, spicy, and coal like. Was not a fan of this wine at all.
