My favorite owls that I've encountered are roosting here.

winking owl shiraz tonight! aldi’s own signature wine brand. probably the cheapest wine i can find, these bad boys run around $2.85.

no vintage

the cork was nice and easy to remove. i realize this has no bearing on the actual wine, but it’s always nice.

the nose is a bit boozey. definitely dark fruit, some black cherry. just a hint of chocolate.

the tasting notes on the bottle are: “subtle flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and a hint of spice”. and, well, that’s a pretty accurate tasting note. not overly dry, it has a good mouthfeel. a bit tart on the finish. but the finish doesn’t linger. 

all the flavors are very subtle, nothing jumps out at you. the flavors are a bit weak, but not bad. 

overall, it’s hard to go too wrong with a wine for $2.85. that said, i’ve certainly had wines that i will never touch again, and this is certainly not one of them. i’ve always found winking owl wines to be a good deal. especially for when you just need some wine to relax at the end of the day and just need something simple.
