Black Swan Wine
Filed in archive Cheap Wines on April 27, 2006
Black Swan comes out of Southeastern Australia and offers a variety of wines including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, chardonnay, Shiraz-Merlot, Chardonnay-Semillion, and Shiraz-Cabernet.
Along with making all kinds of wine, these folks also help support the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and considering their mascot is a swan, I can't help but give them a few extra points for that. You can read more about their involvement with WWF and of course, their wines on their website: www.blackswanwines.com/.
My latest cheap wine discovery at the grocery store is Black Swan Shiraz, two bottles for $9.99. I purchased one bottle, so it tailed up (before taxes) to an even five dollars at the cash register.
Even if this bottle was a few dollars more, I would give it the thumbs up, but at a mere five dollars, I have to give it two thumbs up. It had a nice dark berry flavor to it with a little spice to boot. I am definitely going to keep my eye out for this when it's on sale again and maybe stash a few bottles for future weekend dinners.

If you mean sweet as in desert wine sweet, then no, I wouldn't call it sweet, but it's smooth and fruity. If you like something like cabernet sauvignon, for example, then you'd like this I think.

The wine has a great taste,but lacking a little in the depth department.I was skeptical because of the price... If I don't wake up with a headache tomorrow,I am putting down the myth all great wines are 10.00 and above... ck me tomorrow for my rating...naryssya ....
