Tasting-Riebeek Cellars Shiraz

Name: Riebeek Cellars Shiraz 
Variety: Shiraz
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2013
Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar 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: This red wine appeared very dark in color, indicating a higher tannin content than some of the others. The aroma was fruity which made me hopeful despite the dark red hue. To me, not only was the taste very dry, but it also left a dry after taste in my mouth as well. I really did not like this wine and will probably gravitate in a different direction in the future.
