Solms-Delta 2006 Solms Hegewisch Shiraz (Western Cape)
- $40
With a confectioned finish and sweet mocha notes on the nose, this might have seen a little too much wood in its 16 months in new French oak. Lovely notes of small red berries, sous bois and pepper appear in the bouquet, while sanguine notes overpower the soft mouth. Overall, it’s easy to drink but a little disjointed.

Aromas and flavors of black cherry, wild strawberry and soft earthy spice dominate the profile. Balanced and softly tannic with a lingering finish and an even longer lasting impression on the drinker.
