Fabulous fruit balance with raspberry and currant. Spicy with a hint of cloves and pepper. One of my favorites and takes me right back to my trip to South Africa.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Argonaut Denver. My first South African wine. Pours a deep purple appearance. A little bit of spice goes with a ton of dark fruits - prunes, plums, dark grapes - a fair amount of tannins in the nose. Medium full body. A little bit of heat on the finish. Mild leather and wood. Dark fruit throughout. Decent but not something I'd buy again.

South African Wine + Surf Trip; 5/17/2014-6/1/2014 (Western Cape, South Africa): Meat, pepper and earth aromas accent the blackberry compote. Firm, gritty tannins and fresh acid align with pulpy black fruit. I also get lots of charcoal, salami and an interesting caramelized sugar note on the finish. Long and quite complex, deserving of some time to unwind and a roasted meat accompaniment.

Not sure what vintage I had. Delicious shiraz with great QPR.
