Skaapveld Coastal Region Shiraz

I generally like South African Syrah as I do this one but it could have come from anywhere in the west. Soft and smooth with M intensity. This description generally applies to most airline wines which tend to be chosen to be easy to like, not to offend and tend to be middle of the road. For the amount that the charge for Business Class Airfares it is not good enough to be serving wines which cost sometimes as little as $25 as Qantas does. They should all be in the $80 to $100 range. An exception tends to be Champagne - the Drappier Rose on Qatar was very good.

Pretty balanced and smooth for this kind of price tag. Has that classic old tire component that South Africa is known for.

This is a 2013. Funky, fresh and exhilarating. I love South African wines and this is no exception. Charcuterie, rubber, blackberries and some savory herbs. Yeah, funky describes it ridiculously well.

Medium ruby color.
Aromas of red fruit, cured meat.
Dry. Flavors of red fruit, cherry/strawberry, spice, soft earthiness.

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 4/5
Finish: 4/5

Fruit-forward, dark fruit and smoky notes. Balanced. Good value

Interesting. Easy drinking but tasty.

South Africa Shiraz. So good. The grape comes through. Smooth and velvety. Medium bodied. Great with filet cooked on mesquite grill.

Shiraz potente, apimentado.

Dark, good spice, full of tannins. Dark fruit. Super good! 91ponts TC for $9.99
