Tasting - Riebeek Cellars Shiraz

Name: Riebeek Cellars Shiraz
Variety: Shiraz
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2013
Price: $12.00
Shop 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 Shiraz smelled wonderful to me. It was deep purple in color and seemed like it would be medium-bodied. It tasted like it had a strong alcohol content; I could not identify any berries, fruitiness, or savory sensations. Overall though, it was a decent tasting wine. Was not paired with any food.
