Tasting - Riebeek Cellars Shiraz

Riebeek Cellars Shiraz 2013
Swartland, South Africa
Regular Price: $12
Sale Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "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."

This wine provided a acetone-like smell, but it was not unpleasant like some. I also picked up some subtle plum aromas. The color of this red wine was really nice as well, seeming full and smooth. In the mouth it felt medium bold with a small bite of hotness on the finish, which was enjoyable rather than unpleasant.
