Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
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 pallet of ripe fruit and interesting spice.
Personal Tasting Notes:
This Shiraz had a bouquet full of the aromas of cherries and black pepper, definitely sour or black cherries than sweet ones though. I found this wine to be rather dry with a long linger and did not enjoy it. It was tasted alone but definitely needed to be tasted with cheese or something to make it more pleasant. There was some berry flavors particularly blackberries though and had hints of smoky wood.
