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.
My review: I enjoyed the Riebeek Shiraz, though it wouldn't be my go to wine. A nice aromatic bouquet, the Shiraz boasts of blackberry jam. On the palate were nice oak, tobacco, and leathery flavors with a heavy body providing seemingly salty tannins.
