WineXpert Classic California Shiraz

A California Shiraz is a red wine celebrated for its boldness and depth. Typically full-bodied, these wines showcase rich, ripe fruit flavors with a smooth and velvety texture. The warm California climate enhances the ripening process, resulting in Shiraz that is fruit-forward and robust, often with notes of dark fruits like blackberry and plum. Accents of spice and subtle earthy undertones add complexity, making it a favorite for those who enjoy a powerful yet balanced wine. California Shiraz pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, or flavorful vegetarian dishes like roasted mushrooms, offering a versatile option for any occasion.
