This is a Shiraz from California. This is one of Trader Joes’ “Two Buck Chuck” wines. We really liked the Cabernet and thought we’d give the Shiraz a review. |
| $3 from Trader Joes |

- Jammy aromas with a hint of vanilla.
- Very acidic and sharp in the mouth.
- It’s really hard to get past the acidity in this wine – it masks any good flavors that might be there.
- A hint of oak.
- Remember how Joe Blow Red was like someone who rubbed you the wrong way for a while until you found out that you really had a lot in common and grew to value their friendship…..well this is more like the person that rubs you the wrong way the first time and continues to be a pain in the butt for the rest of your life. Leave this bottle on the shelf since it is absolutely horrible. We expect better of Trader Joe’s.

Not bad, let it breathe for a while. Best $3 bottle of wine I ever drank.

This wine is entirely too young. If you have the ability to allow it to rest a year or so, the flavors will merry. This wine has an amazing fruit forward taste, but the acidity overtakes every undertone offered in this wine. It is a middle of the road wine, but for 3 bucks @ Trader Joe’s, who can complain. For this I thank you Trader Joe’s. Keep em coming. I have a plentiful cellar of inexpensive wine that is drinkable.
