"The Block shiraz isn’t a complex wine. It has some overly sweet, bright fruit flavors — plum and blackcurrant, like the nose, with some mild floral touches on the finish. This wine’s smooth, at least; there aren’t any tannins, and the alcohol flavors are very mild. Overall, the shiraz fits the profile of a typical box wine; simple, but it’s good enough for an everyday table wine. And thanks to the vacuum-sealed bag, this shiraz would keep long enough to supply a glass or two of wine for you and your favorite everyday wine-drinking partner for a couple of weeks. (If you pour a standard five-ounce glass of wine, the Block Red Shiraz box should yield just over 20 glasses.)"
