HRM Rex-Goliath, “Giant 47 Pound Roosterâ€Â?, Shiraz 2004 ($8) – Very dark purple in color with intense aromas of raspberry and plum; mouth-filling plum and black pepper flavors with some spice and fine tannins, finishing a tad hot for a 13.5% alcohol wine. A nice house Shiraz that could standup to wild boar and other hearty fare 🙂 Score: 8/10

Okay! A “calibration” wine!
I went 84/100 on this one, although I did have it with a Trader Joe’s cranberry turkey roll in lieu of wild boar.
