Charles Shaw Shiraz (California, 2007)

Category: ShirazMike @ 6:42 am
No Bottle Image Available 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
Half Trophy
  • 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.
