2008 Peter Lehmann Barossa Valley Shiraz

2008 Peter Lehmann Barossa Valley Shiraz
Varietal:  Shiraz
Cost per bottle: $12


"The '08 Peter Lehmann Barossa Valley Shiraz is a wine of great depth of color reflecting that splendid red wine vintage. After an early start, the vintage was marked by perfect harvest weather, warm days and cool nights during February. This was then followed by a burst of heat at the end."

It is interesting that the description talks about the weather, rather than the flavor.  They must have been trying to be polite.  I think this wine is already too old in 2012.  It isn't horrid, but the alcohol content overpowers the flavor it is supposed to have.  Skip it.
