Shop Review: Often referred to as Shiraz Country, the Riebeek Valley is renowned for exceptional Shiraz wines. WildLife Shiraz is a lively rich wine; full-bodied with a subdued smokiness on the nose and a palate of ripe fruit and interesting spice. Well-balanced and smooth, the aftertaste lingers with the exciting flavors of chocolate and spice.

My Review: This wine had a pronounced dark berry aroma. The black cherry flavor was the first thing I noticed on my palate. However, I found that there was almost a methylanth or prune taste to it, which made it very unpleasant. This wine was much tarter than I had been anticipating for a Shiraz wine. I'm finding that the spicier wines are too much for my palate.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
