Red Truck Petite Sirah 2006

Bought at Whole Foods, Brentwood, Missouri for $8 (normally ~$9). Drank at room temperature.

Z: Sorry, K, I took this one down. It was quite excellent and my first Sirah (although I hear that Shiraz and Sirah are awfully close). It was really good, and if I see it again I am going to pick it up. Unfortunately I don't remember any nuances having written this one quite a few days after the bottle was killed. Good excuse to buy another.

Mattie's Perch Shiraz (Year Unknown)

Bought at Schnuck's in Florissant, Missouri for about $6. Drank at room temperature.

Z: Very nice. It does have a nice note of caramel. Good spiciness. Highly recommended.

K: My favorite shiraz yet!

Four Emus Shiraz 2003

Bought at Schnuck's in Florissant, Missouri for $6-8. Drank at room temperature.

Z: Took a while to open up; longer than I expected. It was very fruity before it opened, but when it did it was very woody and the spiciness came out a bit more. I enjoyed it all the way through, but next time I would give it a lot longer time to drink it after opening it up.

K: I didn't like it that much for a shiraz.
