10/8/10 WineSense Tasting!

The Wines we got a chance to sample tonight at the Wine Sense were three wines from the same winery of Shinas Estate.  Sadly they have poor little cups to drink from the its hard to get a good sense of the smell out of them. But regardless on to the wines!!!

The Innocent is a Viognier wine that was soft on the nose with slight grassy hints as well as some fruitiness.  The taste was equally as delicate and filled with fruity flavors and light acidity.  It was an easy wine to enjoy.

The second wine we tried was the The Verdict.  It was a Cabernet Sauvignon that I also found to be enjoyable.  The nose was light and a little spicy.  The taste was also light on the tongue and didn't leave much after taste.  It had some light tannins in the back end that lingered a little.  All and all it was an enjoyable drink.

Finaly we were on to The Guilty!  Which is made from the Shiraz grape, which is also the most prevalent grape of Australia, and was the wine that we decided to go home with! The nose had some roasted nuts and a little bit of spice to it very pleasant.   The taste was slightly spicy with a little bit of olives.  This was a very good wine from down under and I will be doing a full review of it in my next post!

So I hope you enjoyed this quick run down of the tasting I went to at Wine Sense.   Remember they have tastings every Friday from 5-7 and they do 10% off the wines they are serving!
