On Thursday we had dinner at Bethany's house. Noah and I brought a bottle of GatoNegro Shiraz. We actually bought this wine over a year ago. Right before I found out I was pregnant with Keegan, we went to Safeway and picked out 6 bottles of wine at random that we thought we should try. Shortly after, I found out I was pregnant, and we never drank any of them. So what better time than now?
The bottle describes the wine as a blend of cherry, raspberry and tannins. It had a very strong and recognizable oak flavor. It was very bold, and almost a bit too bold for me. It was very drying in my mouth. Noah really liked it. It went well with the our entree. We had it with meat lasagna, ceasar salad, and bread with vinegar and oil.
I'll be interested to try another shiraz and see if it was just this particular shiraz I didn't care for, or if shiraz in general is just too bold for me.
