New World Shiraz

...drinking new world shiraz 2010. ok, so if you've been following my blog you'll know that i'm pretty new to the world of wine...saying all that, this was one of the worst wines i've tasted, seriously...no lie!. i feel bad saying this because i know the company is out there somewhere (south africa) and they put their heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into stomping these grapes, however, it's just not good enough. oh oh oh i know, have you ever had ink in your mouth after a pen broke from chewing on it (yes, i know it is soooo high school, that's when it happened, of course hahahaha), well that's what this wine tasted like with a splash not a dash of black pepper! i know this may sound strange but i have a very clear palette, :D !!  this south african red wine retails for $12.95, a little pricey for peppered ink in a bottle, if you ask me. the wine is harsh, very dry with a strong bitter after taste (definitely not a good year for the new world, haha). i'm sorry but i really can't recommended this to anyone, not even my enemy (c'mon,  you know i don't have any of those)!!!
