Comments:

Admittedly, this is a very young wine and perhaps it is paying the price. The front end had mild fruit, but was undermined by a distict bitterness. The back end could not recover from the assault from the front end. Don't attempt this one anytime soon.

 

From the Label:

Black Swan Vineyards are named for Australia's black swan, a captivating creature that symbolizes the unique beauty of our vineyards and the bold elegance of our wines.

Crafted with premium grapes from some of South Eastern Australia's finest growing regions, our Black Swan shiraz-Merlot is a unique combination of Aussie favorites. The Shiraz provides dark berry flavors and hints of black pepper, while the Merlot adds sweet, ripe plum flavors and a soft, velvety mouth feel. Enjoy our Shiraz-Merlot with grilled meats and rich pastas.
