Hartenberg 2006 The Stork Shiraz (Stellenbosch)
- $79
While this is certainly on the higher end of South African Shiraz price points, it’s worth the investment. The intense bouquet is loaded with rich dark cherry, raspberry, sweet spice and small wild strawberries. All-spice and pepper dominate the creamy mouth, with opulent flavors of meaty plum, roasted espresso and black cherry guts. Full and powerful in the mouth…

This red blend starts with a rich, inviting nose of sweet tobacco, black currant and cedar, and on the palate, balanced, stately flavors of tobacco, spice and mocha are matched with a lush, curvy fruit character. Elegant but indulgent.

There’s a definite oaky backdrop to this wine, adding spice and toast to the rich baked red apple, peach bit and brioche flavors. An orange blossom accent freshens up the rich flavors and the full but balanced mouth. The long finish is loaded with toasty hazelnut character.

Hartenberg 2007 The Stork Shiraz (Stellenbosch)
- $79
Medium weight with a satiny smooth texture and great balance, this is a stellar Syrah with great complexity between the rich dark fruit flavors and forest spice. Aromatic accents of cured meat and crème brûlée linger in the back of the bouquet, while a strong coffee flavor stays strong through the finish.
