Nine Hills 'Shiraz' red wine

Picked up a bottle of Nine Hills Shiraz red wine.

The tannins are soft just like the bottle says. I like this wine.

I am not a big fan of 'Shiraz' because sometimes it can be overwhelming and Indian Shiraz gives a very spicy and capsicumy flavour. But this one is soft and tender.
So liked it

Shiraz...dont understand how the French word Syrah got transformed into Shiraz (made popular by the Australians). Shiraz is a place in Iran and is also a popular first name among Parsi ladies.

Anyway Shiraz has come out with full force all over the world, let by the Australians and is a bold wine.

But Shiraz is not about subtelity, softness..so its nice but dosen't always appeal to him.
