Wine Enthusiast or Shop Review:  Often referred to as Shiraz Country, the Riebeek Valley is renowned for exceptional Shiraz wines. The Riebeek Shiraz is a lively rich wine, full bodied with a subdued smokiness on the nose and a pallet of ripe fruit and interesting spice.    

My Review
This was for sure a full-bodied red. I could definitely tell it had lots of tennis--my mouth puckered quite a bit after the first sip. That said, after that first initial sip it went down easier, but was still heavy. 
-Tasted without food, but would expect this one to pair well with red meat!
