Tasting note; Ken Creek
Australian redwine
50 % Shiraz 50 % Cabarnet Sauvignon
13,5 % alcohol
Color
A clear, light violet color
Smell
Gives some good red berries, raspberry and blueberries. Also get some sitrus and light chocolate, and almost like a black pepperich smell in the end.
Taste
A light wine, not very long aftertast and not that focused or concentrated. Fruity with a almost lemonade taste of red berries. Also some red paprika among all the fruit.
Conclusion
This is to me a really easy wine to drink, but not very good. It’s made by Arcus, the largest supplier for wine and spirits in Norway, so it’s a norvegian exclusive. It’s worth the price (In Norway), but nothing that will flipturn your world, and frankly I’m not gonna drink this wine again unless I have to do it to be polite.. Unfortunately.
It do have reduced histamin og tannins, so it will not give you any headache and it’s good for allergics.
