Plantagenet Hazard Hill Shiraz 2005 Tuesday, Jan 22 2008
Tasting Notes and Australia and Great Southern and Variety and Red and shiraz et al and Geographe
I probably don’t do enough wines at the ‘budget’ end of the scale but I am working on fixing that. Here we have a wine that can be found for under $10 a bottle that offers plenty of character and great drinkability. The perfect sort of thing to knock off mid-week with a nice pizza, or if you are watching your weight, maybe a grilled steak and salad (with lots of chips).
A pretty smelling wine offering a mix of red berry fruits, flowers, pepper spice and a little woody oak. On the palate just medium bodied with juicy red berries, spice and some dried herb flavours. It has light grainy tannins, clean acidity and a good spicy berry finish. A nice friendly wine and one that I am happy to provide with a good character reference.

Very nice drop to have at dinner or if you need a relaxing glass after work. For the price it is a good buy in my opinion.
