Shiraz is a big wine, but this Columbia Crest is a really big wine. The color is very deep and inky as you would expect. The first impression in the nose is balck cherry followed by a bit of pepper. This is a very jammy flavored wine and feels very plush in you mouth. The black cherry predominates, but there is also a background of raspberry.
This is a sturdy wine that deserves some sturdy food. Roasts and stews would be a good match. I think it would overpower delicate fish dishes and fight too much with spicy ethnic cuisines.
A Wine Witch tip – it is hard to go wrong for the money with any variety of Columbia Crest.
