Wines#4: Cheap Australia

During our trip to Bieszczady we didn't forget about some luxury stuff. Sylwek managed to provide complete supplies. He also bought two bottles of red wines. Both were nice, but one is worthy of notice. First wine we had at first outdoor lunch. Food itself was great, because we managed to prepare sweet-and-sour chicken with rice. It wasn't easy having only one MSR, but eventually we were successful and had complimentary spanish wine. It was Peña Tejo Cosecha 2007. Nice, aromatic, deep table wine - perfect to be served along with food.
But the other wine is the most important one. It was from Australia - Jacobs Creek Shiraz Cabernet. It was nice red in color - deep crimson red with purple hues. It also tasted perfect - mix of berry, cherry and plum fruit, subtle cedar trees and light coffee aroma. After first gulp of this tasty wine I recalled its taste from the past. Few years ago I had this wine very often, but later switched to more expensive and more sophisticated wines. It was mistake. This one is cheap and really good. Sometimes it's even better than wines for 80 or even 100 pln. This wine was also appreciated by wine tasters - it has many awards (depends on vintage). So now I will drink this wine the whole winter, because it's very addictive!
