Ernst Gouws & Co. 2008 Shiraz (Coastal Region)

  • Best Buy
  1. $11
Loads of black pepper and foliage notes unfold in the bouquet here, with supporting aromas of bacon, game and red plum skins. The fruit is a bit more assertive in the satiny mouth, with plum flesh and ripe cherry lifting the cured meat character. A superb value that’s complex yet approachable.  — L.B.  (12/31/2010)
