Fox Creek Vixen Sparkling Shiraz
|
BN#132688 |
Appearance: Vibrant plum with fine sparkling bead. Bouquet: Lifted black cherry, dark chocolate, musk & mocha. Palate: A powerful wine rich and soft in texture. The silky palate oozes sweet mixed berry conserve, ‘rum and raisin’, white chocolate and spicy vanillin oak finished with a balanced explosion of spice, crisp acid and soft elegant tannin length.
Wine Enthusiast
A reasonably good value in sparkling Shiraz, Fox Creek’s Vixen is a dark, vibrant, purple hue and boasts a heady bouquet of blackberry liqueur, vanilla and spice. This is a rich, oaky, full-on Shiraz, slightly enlivened by the presence of bubbles. Some soft, dusty tannins on the finish make it seem quite dry, and well-suited for its traditional pairing with grilled steak.
Score: 88.
