Rate and review Colio Shiraz Cabernet 2007


An easy going wine that delivers for the value.
Nose was earthy, along with hints on plums and cherry.
Green peppers dominated the taste. Hints of cherry and oak followed. Nice balance to this blend. Finish hung around for quite some time.
Would be good with any beef dish. An excellent value.
