Tasting - Riebeek Cellars Shiraz

Name: Riebeek Cellars Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region: Swartland
County: South Africa
Price: $12
Year: 2013

Winery Review: Often referred to as Shiraz Country, the Riebeek Valley is renowned for exceptional Shiraz wines. The Riebeek Shiraz is a lively rich wine, full bodied with a subdued smokiness on the nose and a palate of ripe fruit and interesting spice.

My Review: This one I found very interesting. I got the woodsy, smokiness on the nose. The spice came out in the palate along with a little fruit. I almost found the nose and palate a little contradicting but enjoyed the fuller body and finish of this wine.

I did not try this with food.
