Name of wine: Yalumba

Varietal: Shiraz

Region: Barossa

Country: Australia

Year: 2017

Price: $29.99

Shop/wine critic: : “A new look for Yalumba's Cab-Shiraz blend The Scribbler, now with 51% Shiraz and 49% Cabernet. The powerful, inky blue and purple fruit profile is still there, with structure and spice from light oaking in French, US and Hungarian hogsheads. Silky, savoury and long.

References of specific flavors: Blackberry, Dried Currant, Mocha, Tobacco, Clay Pot

Your review: You can smell the blackberry before you taste this elegant red wine. It was very good and had a consistent sweet taste throughout.

If you had food: None

But really it is a blue wine.  In most cases the blue wine is a white wine, colored with a natural substance, called anthocyanins. It can also be obtained if you add a chemical called indigocin This substance anthocyanin, is found in the skins of red grapes and in some fruits such as blackberries, plums or blueberries.  Blue wines can also be obtained from rosé wines, or red wines, although it is normal to obtain white wines, usually dry ( https://www.kroger.com/p/pinetti-notte-primitivo/0083972800434 .)"  References o
