Wine Review #4 – Part 2: Shiraz?! jam jar 2009, Peter Lehmann Clancy’s 2006.

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:32:04 +0000

My name is Matthew Harrison, and I’m a college student from Massachusetts and a lover of wine, ale, and Scotch.

In my fourth video review, I decided to go into a scary, scary world of unknowns. I’m after the Shiraz grape, and along the way I find myself in South Africa and Australia, opening screwtops along the way. Eek!

I try out South Africa’s jam jar 2009 Sweet Shiraz, which is a very sweet wine packaged in a bottle made to look like a jar of jam.
I then check out Peter Lehmann’s Clancy’s 2006 Shiraz blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, and while I find some very interesting flavors, I find that THIS WINE NEEDS DECANTING. Stay tuned for a short review later as I revisit this wine in the decanter.

Please leave me comments or suggestions on YouTube, or email me at wine@flashmatt.com

SWAN RIVER VALLEY, NEAR GUILFORD, MIDLAND, PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:31:47 +0000

Swan Valley, Western Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Swan Valley is the area between Midland and Upper Swan through which the Swan River flows. It is bordered to the east by the Darling Scarp. It was explored very early in the time of first European Settlement – known as the Swan River Colony, and several of the ‘original families’ still have real estate in the valley. Whilst many of the older wineries were started by immigrants from countries with long traditions of wine-making, the majority of them are now owned by large companies, often multi-nationals. The valley is notable for its highly fertile soil (uncommon in Western Australia), numerous wineries, several microbreweries. There are numerous locations for day-trippers and tourists to seek out. There is an annual ‘Spring in the Valley’ weekend which seeks to increase tourism into the area.
