Wine 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 pallet of ripe fruit and interesting spice.
Personal Review - This was my favorite wine of the five tastings at the Vintage Cellar today. It had a strong blackberry smell, that I also picked up in the taste. Additionally, it was a little spicy, but not too over-powering, and was definitely a smoky red wine. I would have this again, especially at the sale price!
Food - I did not try this wine with food.
