Stanley Wines - Shiraz Cabernet

Hey there!
In accordance with the title of our blog, we've decided to start reviewing all of the goon that we drink. This system may be amended with time and will include aspects of traditional wine reviews as well as our own thoughts and experiences with each lovely box.

So, since we believe every goon deserves a chance, here goes:

Stanley Wines - Shiraz Cabernet
$14.90 - 4 Litres - 13.0%

An appealing medium bodied dry wine exhibiting vanillin oak characteristics and ripe berry fruit flavors. Great with pasta, veal and lamb.


This goon is better than the last one that we drank (unfortunately didn't get to review), though seems watery. I definitely would not even call it a "medium body" as it has no real presence on the tounge, it drinks more like grape juice.
It is quite fruity, though I'm not getting any of the "vanillin oak" they claim. And despite their claim, its not too dry for a shiraz (it is goon after all, it comes in a foil bag).
We drank this goon with potatoes and sausages, but I can definitely see it going well with the foods suggested.
Overall definitely satisfying, would consider buying again if on sale like this one was.
