Nederburg 2002 Shiraz (Western Cape)
-
$11
On the nose, plum and juicy berry are joined by cocoa powder and vanilla. With ir, grilled meat aromas emerge. The palate starts out a bit sweet with vanilla, but quickly picks up fruit, spice and charred meat notes. All this in a package that is soft without being simple. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

This ruby-red wine has a lot to offer. It offers vanilla, spice, Maraschino cherry and cola in the nose, while the palate is packed with more cherry, vanilla, a mild minerality and some lemon notes. It finishes smooth, with coffee and spice. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.
