Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar)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: It smelled like dark berries. The tongue is on the drier side, with a slight bite and smooth, buttery finish. This is the kind of wine I enjoy with food, specifically steak for this one. I liked it enough to take home a bottle!
With Food: No
