Tasting- Faraway Farms Shiraz


Name: Faraway Farms Shiraz
Variety:  Shiraz
Region:  Western Cape
Country:  South Africa
Year:  2008
Price:  $5.95
Review:  Fresh, modern style, with lots of plum pudding, sweet chocolate, mocha, blackberry and boysenberry flavors supported by round, sweet tannins and toast
My Review:  This wine was a nice, deep burgundy, red color.  I could detect a faint coffee smell among the spices.  It was sweeter than the Garnacha, but still had a pepper, spice taste.  It was still a dry wine but it had that bitter dark chocolate flavor.  Interesting. 

I tried this wine without food.
