Tasting: 2011 Two Hands Bella's Garden Shiraz


Bella’s Garden is a dark garnet in color.  The legs are medium and it smells of blueberry, black cherry, and plum.  It tastes of vibrant blueberry, black cherry, and allspice.  The body is medium full and the wine has a silky texture.  Medium plus finish and a spicy acidity to finish of the bold flavor.

Result: Not to heavy with bold and spicy flavors that leave a lasting impression.  Fantastic.

Tasting: 2010 Schild Estate Shiraz


The color is somewhere between ink and garnet in color. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry, raspberry and twinge of apricot. The taste is much more pungent than the smell.  It tastes of a smokey cherry plum flavor with a third flavor that I can only describe as a variation of cedar. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long has medium acidity. 

I was very surprised by how much more pungent the taste was to the smell.  I would have to say I do like this wine and probably for the reason given.
