Arabella
Western Cape Shiraz


I always anticipate a good Shiraz to be robust and powerful with deep flavors and a broody nature. This bottle has the fruit but not the depth. A little less than medium bodied and a flash of fruit, it misses the structure to hold it together and the linger on the finish.

A very nice Shiraz, this wine is rich and smooth while avoiding jamminess. While there is a hint of oak, some decanting makes the dark fruits shine through.

Dusty and full of mineral tones with raw spinach flavors, this wine is likely a good accompaniment to something. It is a well-crafted wine for those partial to smoky reds with graphite and tar tones.

Hints of vanilla play hide and seek between the dusty berries. Light and bright this Shiraz is quite pleasant and full of flavor
