ME:
The Wine: Yalumba Barossa Shiraz is crafted in South Australia and has a vintage year of 2022. It is made with the Syrah grape. It costs about $18 a bottle.
Critic Review: Decanter from Wine.com gives it a rating of 94 (https://www.wine.com/product/yalumba-samuels-collection-barossa-shiraz-2022/2232180)
Wine Folly: Page 172 of Wine Folly gives the Syrah grape tastes of blueberry, plum, tobacco, and green peppercorn. The sweetness is on the low end; the acidity, high end. I definitely noticed the heightened acidity and low sweetness.
My Review: After a swirl and sniff test I got notes of melted cookie dough at first, and then potent pomegranate. On the first sip, I got a hit of acidity towards the back of the tongue and it left an aftertaste of paint. It tastes most similar to the Woodbridge I tried earlier this semester, but leaves a worse aftertaste. I did not have this wine with any food.
